The distribution of giant squids (Cephalopoda, Archxteuthidae) in the North Atlantic and particularly about the shores of Newfoundland
Reference to the records of giant squid of the family Architeuthidae indicate that they are in the coastal waters of insular Newfoundland every third decade, beginning in the 1870's. Concentrated effort has been made to secure any available specimens during the decade of the 1960's. Since...
