New Deep-Sea Squid Found in Pacific | Dallas News
Description
A brand-new deep-sea squid, Magnapinna atlantica, has been discovered in the Pacific Ocean—its 30-foot-long whip-like arms making it a deep-sea marvel. Found over 2,000 feet down, this species expands our understanding of deep-ocean biodiversity, as it’s the first known specimen of its kind in the Pacific, previously only seen in the Atlantic. Scientists are now unraveling its genetics and anatomy to uncover how it thrives in the abyss, offering clues about evolution in extreme, isolated habitats—and reminding us how much of Earth’s ocean remains a mystery waiting to be explored.
