Mating and spermatophore placement in the onychoteuthid squid Moroteuthis ingens
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-16, 16:00 authored by Jackson, GD, Jackson, CHMales of the onychoteuthid squid Moroteuthis ingens implant spermatophores directly into a variety of internal and external tissues of the female, based on the examination of 14 individuals collected south of Tasmania, Australia. Furthermore, the capture of a pair of mating individuals suggests that 'jaw locking' reminiscent of cichlid fish may be a behaviour associated with courtship and mating.
