What is the maximum body weight of

• Red Flying Squid or Neon Flying Squid, [color="#ff8c00"]Ommastrephes bartramii[/color]; or
  
  
• Other [color="#2e8b57"]OMMASTREPHES SPP?[/color]
  
  

I'm not sure about mass, but their mantle length reaches about a foot. Humboldt squid (Dosidicus gigas) are also Ommatrephes and can reach 50 pounds and 6 feet in mantle length. They are becoming more common along the Pacific coasts of North and South America.
