Loligo opalescens is a small squid (mantle length ML up to 160 mm) in the family Loliginidae. It is a Myopsid squid, and that means that they have corneas over their eyes. The species lives in the Eastern Pacific Ocean from Baja Mexico to Alaska, USA. They live within 200 miles of shore. The life cycle of L. opalescens has four stages, eggs, hatchlings (called paralarvae), juveniles, and adults. These squid live for 4-9 months.
