Unknown deep-sea squid recorded by Tiburon MBARI remotely operated vehicle Tiburon recorded observations of an unknown species of squid during dives off the coast of Oahu in May 2001. Images of this animal, along with seven other submersible sightings of apparently related individuals found at similar depths in the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, are reported on in this week’s issue of the journal Science. MBARI scientists estimate that the individual seen by Tiburon was between four and five meters in length.Research Publication:Vecchione, M., R. E. Young, A. Guerra, D. J. Lindsay, D. A. Clague, J. M.
