Ecology of Joubiniteuthis portieri

Main Ref.	Turgeon, D.D., J.F. Quinn Jr., A.E. Bogan, E.V. Coan, F.G. Hochberg, W.G. Lyons, P.M. Mikkelsen, R.J. Neves, C.F.E. Roper, G. Rosenberg, B. Roth, A. Scheltema, F.G. Thompson, M. Vecchione and J.D. Willams, 1998
Remarks	Males are fully mature at 10.5 cm mantle length; females clearly developing but immature at 8.5 cm mantle length, with paired nidamental glands. Depths of capture in open nets range from 300 to 500 m at night (1 at 3,500 m) and 800 to 2,500 m during daytime: this clearly is a meso- to bathypelagic species. Specimens are reported as prey of lancetfish, blue shark and sperm whale (Ref. 97142).
