O'Shea (2003b) put the maximum weight of female giant squid at 275 kg (606 lb), based on the examination of some 105 specimens as well as beaks recovered from sperm whales (which do not exceed the size of those found in the largest complete specimens; some of the heaviest recent specimens include #465 and 486). Basque and Portuguese cod fishermen observed what were likely giant squid carcasses in the waters of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland as early as the 16th century (Roper et al., 2015:78), but conclusive evidence is similarly lacking. Verrill specimen No. Official supplier of the Volvo Ocean Race 2017-18. 1–3, pl. Giant squid DNA, the scientists later wrote, was “detected in winter but not in summer”—confirming the seasonality of the cephalopods in the Sea of Japan, and lending credence to a previously hypothetical migratory pattern.

The exhibition opened its national tour at Yale University's Peabody Museum of Natural History, which has maintained a strong association with the giant squid from the time of the Newfoundland strandings in the 1870s.

Largest Squid Ever Captured Alive - Massive Colossal Squid, 1st full specimen & biggest discovered in the world. Tales of giant squid have been common among mariners since ancient times, but the animals were long considered mythical and often associated with the kraken of Nordic legend (Rees, 1949; Salvador & Tomotani, 2014; Hogenboom, 2014). There may also be regional differences in the relative proportions of the tentacles and their sucker counts (see Roeleveld, 2002). #42 (24/9/1877)The US display at the International Fisheries Exhibition of 1883, held in London, UK (illustration by William Hatherell, from Cassell, 1903:600, fig.).

Giant squid are sexually size dimorphic, with the maximum weight for males estimated at 150 kg (330 lb) (O'Shea, 2003b), though heavier specimens have occasionally been reported (see #401 for 190 kg (420 lb) specimen).

Found by Albert Butcher and George Wareham, "who cut a portion from the head", at uninhabited locality; Verrill considered their estimate of the specimen's length "probably too large". No genetic or physical basis for distinguishing between the named species has been proposed (Glaubrecht & Salcedo-Vargas, 2004:62), though specimens from the North Pacific do not appear to reach the maximum dimensions seen in giant squid from other areas (Roper & Jereb, 2010:123). #13 (?/12/1853)Upper and lower beaks of the type specimen of Architeuthis monachus (centre) and assorted smaller squid species: Gonatus fabricii (top), Sthenoteuthis pteropus (middle), and Loligo forbesii (bottom) (Steenstrup, 1898:pl. It has long been regarded by Guinness World Records and its previous incarnations as the largest giant squid ever recorded (see e.g. These giant squid sightings are certainly not going to be the last. Oceanic sectors used in the main table follow Sweeney & Roper (2001): the Atlantic Ocean is divided into sectors at the equator and 30°W, the Pacific Ocean is divided at the equator and 180°, and the Indian Ocean is defined as the range 20°E to 115°E (the Arctic and Southern Oceans are not distinguished).

Attempts to capture a glimpse of a live giant squid—described as "the most elusive image in natural history" (Ellis, 1998a:211)—were mooted since at least the 1960s (Oreskes, 2003:716, 2014:29). #42 (24/9/1877)Ward's models of the Catalina giant squid and a giant Pacific octopus, suspended from the ceiling of the American Museum of Natural History's Shell and Coral Hall, early 20th century.

These were meticulously documented in a series of papers by Yale zoologist Addison Emery Verrill (Coe, 1929:36; G.E. 25 fig. The giant squid's existence was established beyond doubt only in the 1870s, with the appearance of an extraordinary number of complete specimens—both dead and alive—in Newfoundland waters (beginning with #21; Lee, 1875:111; Earle, 1977; McConvey, 2015). In the literature there is a single anecdotal account of a giant squid "egg case" (Gudger, 1953:199; Lane, 1957:129; Ellis, 1994a:144), but this is excluded due to a lack of substantiating evidence (see misidentification #[9] for possible egg mass later determined to be that of the arrow squid, Nototodarus gouldi). 3a). This squid was preserved and displayed to the public. It is sometimes called the Antarctic squid or giant cranch squid and is believed to be the largest squid species in terms of mass. 23 ("James's Cove specimen"), Description sent to Mr. Beetham, M.H.R., by Mr. Moore, TL: 66 in (170 cm); ASC: 330; extensive measurements and counts, YPM; catalog no.
