Opaleye fish (Girella nigricans) feed on deceased squid (Doryteuthis opalescens). This after a night of squid mating ritual. Also slender senorita fish (Oxyjulis californica) hope for food fragments. The squid carcass falls to the ocean bottom, which is covered with squid egg cases — they looks like snow on the sandy seafloor. Good light. California market squid, also called opalescent squid. Egg cases move continuously in the ocean current. Movement. Pacific Ocean bottom. West Coast, North America.
