Gonatid Squids in the Subarctic North Pacific Ecology, Biogeography, Niche Diversity and Role in the Ecosystem
This review is based on the author's own data and all available published data (mostly Russian and Japanese) on the ecology, biogeography and role in the ecosystem of gonatid squids in the northern North Pacific. For the best studied species, Berryteuthis magister, information is given on size,...
