Taningia


Taningia is a genus of squid in the family Octopoteuthidae. Believed to comprise a single species, Taningia danae, for over 150 years, it has recently been shown to contain at least a further two new species. Another species, Taningia persica, has historically been referred to but has been questioned. The genus is named after Danish fisheries biologist Åge Vedel Tåning.
