Clawed enope squid

Blue Featherleg

유럽과 서아시아 전역의 정수 및 완류 담수 서식지에 사는 중형 실잠자리로, 파란깃다리실잠자리(Platycnemis pennipes)는 수컷의 뒷다리 경골에 있는 눈에 띄는 깃털 모양의 술 때문에 이름이 붙었으며, 구애 과시 중에 흔듭니다. 수컷은 연한 파란색, 암컷은 올리브그린색을 띱니다. 수생 식물 위에 앉으며 강 서식지의 수질을 나타내는 좋은 지표 종입니다. 수질 오염과 농업 집약화로 인해 일부 지역에서 개체수가 감소했습니다.

Clawed enope squid

The Clawed Enope Squid, Ancistrocheirus lesueurii, is a medium-sized oceanic squid in the family Ancistrocheiridae found in mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. It is the sole species in its family, representing a phylogenetically isolated lineage of deep-sea squids. The species is characterized by powerful, hook-bearing tentacles used to capture prey, an adaptation reflected in its common name. The mantle is muscular and elongated, bearing lateral fins, and the arms bear suckers modified into sharp hooks in adults. Ancistrocheirus lesueurii performs diel vertical migrations, ascending toward the surface at night and retreating to deeper waters during daylight hours. It is a voracious predator of fish and other squids, and is in turn preyed upon by sperm whales, large pelagic fishes, and sharks. Bioluminescent photophores are present on the body and arms, likely functioning in counterillumination or signaling. As a mesopelagic species distributed throughout major ocean basins, the Clawed Enope Squid contributes significantly to vertical carbon transport in marine ecosystems, processing organic material from surface waters and redistributing it at depth. Population status is unknown; the species has not been assessed by IUCN. It is occasionally recovered in the stomach contents of top predators and from deep-sea trawl surveys.
