description Pyroteuthis addolux Overview
Pyroteuthis addolux is a small oceanic squid in the family Pyroteuthidae, a group of luminous cephalopods adapted to life in the open water. It inhabits the mesopelagic zone of tropical and subtropical seas, where sunlight is weak but still useful to predators hunting from below. Ventral photophores produce light for counter-illumination, a camouflage strategy that reduces the squid's silhouette when viewed against brighter water above.
