Determining the unknown in Southern Ocean squid : distribution and diet of Histeoteuthis eltaninae and Martialia hyadesi ...
In the Southern Ocean, cephalopods are infrequently captured by conventional sampling methods, but this is not a reflection of their abundance. This inadequacy has resulted in their being limited knowledge into cephalopods despite their importance as voracious predators and a key prey resource to ap...
