Description
Summary:The body sizes at early stages of short-finned squid Illexi llecebrosus Family Ommastrephidae, in the Northwest Atlantic were described based on 565 individuals of larvae and juveniles collected by R/V KAIYO MARU during January-March 1982 . The size ranges at Rhynchoteuthion and transition stages were 1.6-5.7mm and 4.0-8.2mm in dorsal mantle length (DML), and changeovers from Rhynchoteuthion to transition stages and from transition to juvenile (post-Rhynchoteuthion) stages occurred at the lengths about 5mm and 7mm DML, respectively.
