Cephalopods are an important component of Southern Ocean food webs but studies analysing their habitat and trophic ecology are scarce. Here, we use the Antarctic toothfish Dissostichus mawsoni as a biological sampler of Southern Ocean’s cephalopods in the Ross, Amundsen, and D’Urville Seas. Ten ceph...
