Video images of a very large squid (ML 1m<) were taken by the ROV Hyper-Dolphin at a depth of 1161m near the bottom of Sagami Bay in March, 2004. It was tentatively identified as Gonatopsis sp. (Gonatidae), and may represent an undescribed species. It is surprising that the existence of such a large squid in Sagami Bay has not been recorded to date, despite a tremendous amount of sampling and fishing.
