Researchers filmed an Arctic bobtail squid in its natural habitat for the first time in September 2025 in Northeast Greenland National Park.
The mature female, about 10 cm long, was observed at 50 m depth in –1.6 °C water with three egg clusters on the seafloor.
Lead researcher Paige Maroni (University of Western Australia) said the find shows cephalopod resilience and provides a baseline for tracking Arctic ecosystem change under warming.
