Lycoteuthis lorigera

Lycoteuthis lorigera is a species of squid in the genus Lycoteuthis. They grow up to in length.
The Lycoteuthis lorigera males can grow from ranges between 136 mm to 194 mm. While females grow from ranges between 88 mm to 110 mm.
The Lycoteuthis lorigera males have paired spermatophoric and terminal organs. Both are functional.
They use a serial spawning strategy, the spawning of several egg masses, which exposes eggs to variable environmental circumstances and increases the chance of encountering a beneficial regime for development. The number of ripe eggs in the oviducts suggests that batches of spawned egg masses contain between 1,000 and 4,000 eggs.
