Fish Bulletin 131. The Structure, Development, Food Relations, Reproduction, and Life History of the Squid Loligo opalescens Berry
TL;DR: The squid, Loligo opalescens Berry, is abundant along much of the west coast of North America as mentioned in this paper, and at certain seasons, individuals that are spent by spawning may be seen swimming aimlessly near the surface.

Abstract: The squid, Loligo opalescens Berry, is abundant along much of the west coast of North America. They often congregate where a light is suspended over the water at night, and at certain seasons, individuals that are spent by spawning may be seen swimming aimlessly near the surface. Great schools spawn in shallow waters like those adjacent to Monterey, California, where they support a valuable fishery. This squid is also important as food for many fishes, sea birds, and marine mammals.

Relationship between pilot whales and Risso's dolphins at Santa Catalina Island, California, USA
TL;DR: In this article, the authors observed a possibly aggressive encounter between pilot whales and Risso's dolphins in a 9-winter-long study at Santa Catalina Island, California, USA and found that competitive displacement will generally prevent CO-occurrence of these species in restricted geographic areas with limited food resources.
Maturation, fecundity and seasonality of reproduction of two commercially valuable cuttlefish, Sepia pharaonis and S. dollfusi, in the Suez Canal
TL;DR: The data suggest that reproduction extends over ≈6–9 months; this probably represents the latter 1/2–2/3 of the life cycle, and may be typical for sepioid and teuthoid cephalopods.

TL;DR: For example, Stenoteuthis oualaniensis is a multiple spawner, a reproductive strategy not reported previously for squid as discussed by the authors, indicating that considerable growth takes place after reaching sexual maturity.

Reproduction and condition of female Octopus mimus (Mollusca: Cephalopoda)
TL;DR: The relationship between reproduction and condition was studied in a 15 mo sample of 919 maturing, mature and post-spawning female Octopus mimus caught in Iquique (North Chile), where condition deteriorated dramatically after spawning, during parental care of the eggs.

The culture and maintenance of the loliginid squids Sepioteuthis sepioidea and Doryteuthis plei
TL;DR: Experimental data indicate a lethal minimum salinity for both species at about 27‰, and opaque tanks, with a semi-natural bottom substrate and special ultra-violet (UV) illumination, are advantageous for rearing and maintenance.
