Description A single specimen of the little Indian squid
Loliolus hardwickei was caught by trawl net bythe
research vessel “F.V Silver Pompano” on 18th March
2014. It was caught from waters off Cochin at a
depth of about 20 m (09°58´30´´N;76°06´18´´E).
The specimen was previously described as Loliolus
investigatoris(Goodrich,1896). Nevertheless, it is
now reported that Loliolus investigatoris is a junior
synonym of Loliolus hardwickei.This species is
known to inhabit estuarine and coastal waters to a
maximum depth of 30 m (FAO species catalogue for
Fishery purposes, Cephalopods of the World No.4,
