Just posting a couple of images online of some truly remarkable squid that have been found floating off the Maldives.
Dr Shiham Adam, Director of Fisheries Research at the Marine Research Centre, Republic of Maldives, has forwarded to me several images of these squid recently found floating off the Maldives. We will be examining these specimens at the first available opportunity, but they are one of the most remarkable finds in recent years (and an order of magnitude more scarce than Architeuthis!!!!). There are many more images that we'll post online shortly. The squid are in excess of 9 feet in length!
Watch this space. We're excited!
