The life cycle of the short fin squids of the North-west Atlantic, ranging in the area from the Florida Peninsula to Labrador as a single population (Romero and Amaratunga, 1981; Froerman, 1983; Froerman, Dubinina, 1984), was studied. The data on the distribution and biological parameters of the population in different ontogenetic stages was collected du-ring the 1966 to 1983 period. Information on the distribution and biology of the short fin squids inhabiting the areas south of Cape Hatteras and north of Banquerreau Bank was mainly adopted from the literary sources.
