About the rossia pacifica

Rossia pacifica, also known as the stubby squid, is a species of bobtail squid native to the northern Pacific Ocean. Sightings usually occur in winter on sandy slopes away from strong currents in moderately shallow water. In the summer, they move to deeper waters where they reproduce. The female cements the egg capsules under a stone or in some other concealed location, and both male and female die soon after breeding.
