Bigfin squids are a group of rarely seen cephalopods with a distinctive morphology.They are placed in the genus Magnapinna and family Magnapinnidae. [2] Although the family was described only from larval, paralarval, and juvenile specimens, numerous video observations of much larger squid with similar morphology are assumed to be adult specimens of the same family.
The fins extend about 83 to 97% of the mantle length and are 67 to 70% of the mantle length in width. [24] [25] Because of these fins, bigfin reef squids are sometimes mistaken for cuttlefish, [citation needed] a fact reflected by their scientific names. A narrow blue or white line is visible at the point of attachment of the fins to the mantle ...
