  • Arkhipkin (1992) presented a scale for classifying cephalopod maturity based on reproductive features. Since all juveniles fall into his "Stage 0" there is little direct overlap between his findings and the presently identified larval stages (although it is possible that some currently unknown morphological character also indicates the onset of his Stage 1). Both findings from Arkhipkin and those herein draw attention to the rapid growth and morphological changes that squid undergo during their early and late life stages, and serve as a reminder that, even for many species where the subadult and adult animals are reasonably well described, much remains to be observed about other stages of maturity.
