摘要

Live Giant Squid Caught on Video for the First Time. During a dive near the Ogasawara Islands in the Pacific, scientists captured footage of a giant squid in its natural habitat-a first for this species whose previous sightings have been limited to beachings or rare landings by fishermen. The crew of scientists, which included marine biologist Dr. Edie Widder, marine biologist Steve O'Shea and zoologist Dr. Tsunemi Kobodera of the National Science Museum of Japan, made six recordings at 700 meters depth from the Triton submersible and with the Medusa camera system, a midwater version of Widder's Eye-in-the-Sea camera. The five recordings from the Medusa, suspended on 700 meters of line by a float at the surface, were less than a minute each; the one from the Triton ran 23 minutes. Both methods deployed an optical lure, another one of Widder's designs, called the e-jelly. These lures mimic the bioluminescent flashes that deep-sea jellyfish emit when they're under attack by predators, who in turn become the giant squid's prey. The biggest challenge was developing ways to explore unobtrusively, Widder said. "Getting the illumination just right so that you can see the animal without being seen is incredibly difficult because the long wavelengths you need to use in order to be unobtrusive are absorbed so quickly by seawater. That's why we needed to use super-intensified cameras-in order to compensate for that fact." The four-year project was financed by the Discovery Channel and Japanese broadcaster NHK.
