Sagittal squid; Grote pijlinktvis.

This view shows the attachment along the dorsal margin of the mantle. Photo by Kirt Onthank, 2009

The ventral margin of the mantle is not tightly attached to the body. Photo by Kirt Onthank, 2009

When the mantle cavity is opened the two gills can be readily seen. In the photo above, the opening to the mantle cavity is to the left. Water is sucked into the rear of the mantle cavity (to the right), then blown back out across the featherlike gills which can be seen above and below. The visceral mass is visible between the gills. This individual washed up on a beach at Seaside, Oregon, so there is some sand in the gills. Photo by Dave Cowles, July 2009

This closer view shows the esophagus extending to from the left to the spiral cecum and stomach on the right. Photo by Dave Cowles, July 2009
