[31] [32] The squid was found at a depth of 2,385 m (7,825 ft), and its size is currently being measured using paired lasers. [33]
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.
