On the presence of Illex argentinus (Castellanos, 1960) (Cephalopoda: Ommastrephidae), paralarvae and juveniles in near-shore waters of Nuevo Gulf, Argentina

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

In this study we report the presence of paralarvae and juveniles oflllex argentinus in the waters of Nuevo Gulf (42°45'S-64°45'W, Argentina) during three consecutive years (2004-2007). Paralarvae were caught using a Hensen net of 295 µm mesh size. Juveniles were found stranded on the coast in September 2007. These findings show that the species uses near-shore waters for breeding.
