Sepiolina nipponensis, also known as the Japanese bobtail squid, is a bobtail squid and one of two species in the genus Sepiolina. It is found in the Western Pacific in apparently widely separated populations, the most southerly of which is in the Great Australian Bight in South Australia and Western Australia, and there are populations from the Philippines northwards to Taiwan, Fujian and southern Honshū.[1]
