Nototodarus is a genus of squid. Example species in this genus include Nototodarus sloanii, a species sought for human food. In the process of harvesting N. sloanii, Australian sea lions are frequently killed, since that marine mammal preys upon this squid species.Nick Gales, Nicholas Gales, Mark Hindell and Roger Kirkwood. 2003.
