Male deep-sea squid seeks mate of either sex for fun in the dark

remotely operated underwater lift the lid on sexual blind deepwater squid

Scientists have identified any other incident that could result from sex in the dark after filming creatures that live in the deep ocean.

Remote

sequences revealed that the man submersible offshore squid struggle to distinguish between potential partners and members of the same sex in the waters of low light.

But rather than develop more acute senses to help find a mate, the male of the species adopted a sexual strategy to adapt to the following conditions. His companions with any deepwater squid comes through aa

researchers blame the bad light, similar in size of male and female body and the scarcity of blind dating behavior of the squid, which leaves its mark on the bodies of unsuspecting men as sperm sacks last.

, a marine biologist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in California, said the semen was lost, apparently cheaper for people to improve their ability to detect females.

His team found evidence that squid "Shot in the Dark" for sex when examined screenshots of video recorded at depths of 400-800 meters in the canyon in Marine offshore Monterey California. To his surprise, many males than females made sperm bags are produced in your body, a sure sign that the men had attempted to copulate with them.

• In a report published in Biology Letters, the authors conduct, "illustrates the" live fast and die young "life strategy of many cephalopods."
• The study focused on one species of squid called

Octopoteuthis deletron

. When the second squid, the male releases a bag full of semen that is discharged into the tissues of the female. The event is fast, but leaves the empty bags of sperm in the female body as an outward sign of recent mating.

underwater images of squid in action was recorded by robotic submersibles between 1992 and 2011. Although the squid were filmed 108, 15 were under age and in 54 cases it was impossible to determine the maturity of squid, sex, or bags of sperm were present in the bodies of animals.

Among the remaining squid were 19 women and 20 men, 10 women and 9 men had bags of sperm visible on their bodies. Those who remained were men in such positions that have been left by other males, researchers say.
