These squid occupy tropical to subtropical waters, probably at depths of between 500 and 1,000 m during the day and near-surface waters at night.
The genus contains bioluminescent species.[2]

The species listed above with an asterisk (*) is questionable and needs further study to determine if it is a valid species or a synonym.
gollark: The greater problem is that it's unmaintained and anyone who might actually know the code well enough to work on it is now working on v2 and under NDAs for some bizarre reason.
gollark: Er, basically, there's some configuration set which probably isn't right for all environments, but that's not a complex fix either.
gollark: Oh, and it has some hardcoded paths.
gollark: Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to run; the only finicky part is that it needs a MySQL database and has a lot of random services, but the docker compose stuff handles that anyway.
gollark: The documentation for this is actually pretty good, and it's all dockerized.
