'''''Joubiniteuthis portieri''''', also known as '''Joubin's squid''' from the [[monotypy|monotypic]] [[Family (biology)|family]] '''Joubiniteuthidae''' and genus '''''Joubiniteuthis'''''. It is a rare, small [[squid]] which occurs in the [[mesopelagic]] to [[bathypelagic]] zones and which has a worldwide distribution in tropical and subtropical regions. It is a distinctive squid having long [[Cephalopod arm|arm]]s I-III which have numerous small suckers in six rows. Its biology is little known. It is thought that it stays in the depths of the ocean with its arms outstretched, waiting for small animals to ensnare after they have accidentally swum into the arms.<ref name = ToL>{{cite web | author = Richard E.

The Joubin's squid has been sighted most recently by [[Schmidt Ocean Institute]], but was first found at the northwest Hawaiian islands on a 2003 [[NOAA]] (National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration) expedition which was first believed to be one of if not the best pieces of footage of the squid in its natural habitat.
