Taonius belone

description Taonius belone Overview

Taonius belone is a species of glass squid within the family Cranchiidae, inhabiting the cold, deep waters of the subarctic and temperate North Atlantic Ocean. It possesses a characteristically slender, highly transparent mantle, which aids in camouflage within its mesopelagic environment. The squid features prominent, laterally compressed eyes that are directed forward, an adaptation hypothesized to assist in spotting prey in low-light conditions. It utilizes an internal ammonia-filled cavity to maintain neutral buoyancy while drifting in the water column.
