Abstract
The “flying squids” of the family O m m a s t r e p h i d a e ( s u b o r d e r Oegopsida) make up over 50% of the global cephalopod species that are commercially exploited. Among this, the purpleback flying squid Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis (Lesson, 1830) is the dominant squid in the oceanic waters of the Arabian Sea and is reported to have a complicated population structure (viz. middle-sized, dwarf, and giant forms) (Jeena et al. 2023). Purpleback flying squid is referred to by the sobriquet ‘Master of the Arabian Sea’ due to its abundance, large size, fast growth, and dominance in the higher trophic niche and the mean abundance of this species in the Indian EEZ portion of the Arabian Sea was estimated to be 4.21 tonnes/ km2 (Mohamed et al. 2018).
