The glowing firefly squid of Toyama, Japan !! ”The reproduction
of the firefly squid, once a year (March to June) millions of
squids come together to fertilize and to drop their eggs in the
Toyama Bay in Japan. The big reunion of these squids is one big
light show that you can admire and it attracts thousands of
tourists. Once the firefly squids have done their job, they die.
The firefly squid has a one year life-cycle and once that year
is over they die and wash up on the shore. This event is very
important for other sea creatures and sea birds who enjoy eating
the dead bodies of the firefly squid.”
