Uroteuthis chinensis,[3] also known as the Hanchi (Korean:한치)[4],Taiwanese squid (Mandarin Chinese:台灣槍烏賊) or mitre squid,[5] is a species of squid in the west Pacific Ocean, including the China Sea.

Characteristics[]

The body is elongated,[6] tapered,[7] and the tail end is tapered.[6] There is no longitudinal midline on the ventral surface.[6] The average carcass length of mature individuals is 30 cm [6] and the aspect ratio is 7:1.[8] There are two fins on the side of the tube, the fin is diamond-shaped, and the length of the carcass is greater than 2/3,[6] [8] making the carcass of the spear very much like a rocket, hence the name.[7]

Like other calamari species, two of the ten tentacles of this species are longer,[7] the wrist style is generally 3>4>2>1, and there are 2 rows of suckers.[8] There are about 12 large in the group with an average diameter of 1/2 times larger than that of the small horny horny rings at the edge, while the diameter of the largest horny horn ring is 2 times larger.[6] The horny ring of the largest tentacle has 20-30 sharp teeth, and the arrangement is 6-12 large teeth interspersed with 1-4 small teeth.[6]

It will emit light,[7] [8] and the illuminators are on both sides of the rectum, which are spindle-shaped.[8]

Chinese spear squid at different growth stages sometimes have different names among fishermen: they call the larvae of squid "small rolls", and the sub-adults are called "middle rolls".[6] They like to see the light, so the boatman will use big lights to guide them to swim on the water.[7]

Distribution[]

The main fishing grounds of this species are located in the Penghu Islands on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the ,[6] but it can also be seen in the northern part of the Beibu Gulf in Guangxi, around Hainan Island, Nanpeng Islands, and the South China Sea.[6] The peak period of its haunts is from May to June,[9][7] but in Hong Kong sometimes it can be caught in April. Compared with other cuttlefish or squid, its taste is thinner and sweeter, and it is generally used to stir-fry, stir-fry or eat as sashimi.[7]
