Description: 
Cock-eyed squid Histioteuthis miranda have previously been documented in the Bremer canyon region and may be part of the diet of large predators such as killer whales. The pelagic stereo-BRUVs survey undertaken as part of the NESP EP2 Emerging Priorities Project collected in situ video footage of the species within and around the Bremer Marine Park.
