In captivity hatchling mortality was very high; between 50-100% of the dead squids were missing statoliths which are needed for swimming and orientation. Growth results are compatible with the concept of a 1 yr life cycle for this species.-from Authors

... Some growth studies based on statolith increments for L. vulgaris and A. subulata were also carried out in other areas, e.g. the West Saharan Bank (Arkhipkin and Nekludova 1993;Arkhipkin 1995), the Mediterranean (Natsukari and Komine 1992;Villanueva et al. 2003) and in Portuguese waters (Moreno et al. 2012), but using embryos, juveniles or adults. Most studies of the age and growth of loliginid paralarvae were based on laboratory culture experiments (Lipinski 1986;Turk et al. 1986;Yau 1994;Villanueva 2000a, b). The only study of the length at age of wild loliginid paralarvae was carried out in Galicia (NW Spain), but it did not distinguish between the different species (González et al. 2010). ...
