Image of Dosidicus Steenstrup 1857
Description:
As with all squid, Dosidicus gigas has an internal, flexible strengthening skeleton or "pen". In this view the pen has been removed from the animal (anterior is to the right) and set on the side of the tank. The spoon-like structure at the left fits within the posterior tip of the animal.
