an earlier photo of potentially the same squid (??) when caught as bycatch. Questions raised as to whether it is really Archi (vs Onykia robusta, perhaps). Like many such sightings, we may never know for sure!
100% Archi, a small one. Lovely!!!! I sure hope that one made it to a museum, as I am not sure if there are any known of that size (and only several that are smaller).youtube randomly put this on my homepage today, ran it by the usual squid scientists on twitter and the consensus appears to be that it's either a juvenile architeuthis, or an outside chance it's a weird onychoteuthid
