Brachioteuthis is a genus of squid in the family Brachioteuthidae, found in various marine environments including the waters off the coast of the Comunidad Valenciana. These squids are known for their unique adaptations and behaviors that help them thrive in their natural habitats.

Key characteristics of the Brachioteuthis species include:

• Size: Typically small to medium-sized squids.
• Shape: Possesses a slender and elongated mantle, which aids in their streamlined swimming capabilities.
• Tentacles: Equipped with long tentacles and arms used for capturing prey.
