Try to imagine a lecture hall in King's College filled with zoologists discussing the lives and ways of cephalopods of the Southern Ocean. A few years ago such a dedicated gathering would have been unimaginable for any Southern Ocean invertebrate save for the ubiquitous euphausid, Euphausia superba . How things have changed under the influences of a major international squid fishery and international collaborative research programmes.
