Aspects of the early life history of Loligo pealei (Cephalopoda:Myopsida)
The long-finned squid Loligo pealei was the most common squid collected in 2 years of zooplankton sampling over the Middle Atlantic Bight off New Jersey and Virginia. Planktonic specimens of L. pealei were found in that area during spring, summer, and fa ll; there were no indications of multiple sto...
