Pickfo rdiateuthis bayeri, a new species of squid (Cephalopoda: Loliginidae) from the western North Atlantic Ocean discovered by submersible

We describe a previously unrecognized species of loliginid squid from the Bahama Islands, western North Atlantic. Two specimens of Pickfordiateuthis bayeri n.sp. were collected by submersible from a large aggregation in mid-water (110-113 m over a depth of 1000 m) offshore of Abaco Island. Both spec...
