पारिस्थितिकी
पिलाजिक; गहराई सीमा 0 - 200 m (संदर्भ 83938). Tropical; 50°N - 42°S, 180°W - 180°E (संदर्भ 275)
Circumglobal in tropical and warm temperate seas.
Length at first maturity / आकार / Weight / Age
परिपक्व अवधि: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 72.6 cm TL (female)
Maximum total length: male, 1.5 to 2.0 cm. Maximum length of shell, 30 cm in females; males are of dwarf size, only 1.5 to 2 cm in total length (Ref. 275). Maximum total length 72.6 cm, and mantle length 14.14 cm for females (122434). Epipelagic (Ref. 83938). Females use the shell to trap air, gathered at the sea surface, to attain neutral buoyancy (Ref. 96968). Few shells found washed up on beaches (Ref. 88739).
On contact with the female, it is presumed that the male autotomizes the hectocotylus. Multiple hectocotyli can persist in shells and mantle cavities of females for extended periods. Eggs of up to five different developmental stages may be present within a single shell (Ref. 96968). Females inhabit the shell of Nautilus for egg deposition and brooding (Ref. 98241).
