The goal of the expedition was to use remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dives in combination with seafloor mapping operations to increase the understanding of deep-sea ecosystems and collect scientific information to support future management decisions. [1] [2] [3] The expedition lasted from 11 April 2018 to 3 May 2018. [1]
The giant squid nevertheless remains a rarely encountered animal, especially considering its wide distribution and large size, [60] with Richard Ellis writing that "each giant squid that washes up or is taken from the stomach of a sperm whale is still an occasion for a teuthological celebration".
On 11 November 2007, a bigfin squid was filmed off Perdido, a drilling-site owned by Shell Oil Company, located 200 statute miles or 320 km off Houston, Texas in the Gulf of Mexico. The ROV that filmed the squid had originally been sent to retrieve drilling equipment from the seabed, and encountered the squid floating near a well.
The boaters were surprised to find it swimming in just 50 feet of water.
The initial decline in saltwater fish off the Texas coast was due to overharvesting that occurred largely in the 1970s. ... the average global sea surface temperature reached a daily high of 70.1 ...
The 15-month period between January 2014 and March 2015 saw an unprecedented mass appearance event in the Sea of Japan, during which 57 giant squid specimens were recorded in Japanese coastal waters (spanning #563 to 631) [1] and a substantial but smaller number from the South Korean side. [2]
The sea creature was hunting for prey. But as it wrestled two bony fish into its arms, it failed to realize it was sinking into the low-oxygen depths of the sea. By the time it noticed what was ...
Asphaltic and authigenic carbonate outcrops hosting large filter-feeding communities were also observed in geologically active areas. [1] A number of the ROV dives surveyed Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (HAPCs) proposed by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council. These surveys collected baseline information for management of the area.
