Cephalopods Collected by the Submersibles and ROVs of Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science & Technology — Annotated Catalogue up to 2008 —

Abstract

The crewed submersibles and ROVs of JAMSTEC have obtained many images of nektonic cephalopods, but they only rarely catch voucher specimens of such fast-moving animals. An inventory of JAMSTEC's cephalopod specimens collected by those vehicles yielded nineteen species including some noteworthy species.
