Bigfin squids are a group of rarely seen cephalopods with a distinctive morphology.They are placed in the genus Magnapinna and family Magnapinnidae. [2] Although the family was described only from larval, paralarval, and juvenile specimens, numerous video observations of much larger squid with similar morphology are assumed to be adult specimens of the same family.
The camera took over 500 photos before the squid managed to break free after four hours. The squid's 5.5 m (18 ft) tentacle remained attached to the lure. Later DNA tests confirmed the animal as a giant squid. [9] One of the series of images of a live giant squid taken by Kubodera and Mori in 2004
Specimen cast in 1997–98 for creation of 8.5-m-long plastic "giant squid" model, exhibited since 1998 at Übersee-Museum Bremen with sperm whale skull. Re-identified as Dosidicus gigas in June 1998 by Mario Alejandro Salcedo-Vargas. Internal parts apparently removed when specimen originally dissected by Martens or prepared for exhibition ...

Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis occurs in a diverse range of environments in the tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific, often at depths of over 600 m (1,969 ft) deep. [9] [6] [7] Total species biomass has been estimated at between 8-11 million tonnes; the Arabian Sea from November-January is thought to contain one of the highest concentrations (12 to 42 t km −2) of these squids due to population ...
