Colossal squid, which are found deep in Antarctic waters, are thought to be about the same length as giant squid (Architeutis dux) but are much heavier.

The species was first identified in 1925, but very few specimens have been found.

The first specimen recovered intact, a 150kg (330lb) immature female, was caught on the surface in the Ross Sea near the Antarctic coast in April 2003.

The South West mackerel handline fishery in Cornwall has achieved re-certification to the MSC's environmental standard as a sustainable and well-managed fishery. As a result, it may continue to label its catch with the internationally recognised blue MSC eco-label. After the fishery's initial certification to the MSC environmental standard in August 2001, South West mackerel handline has proven in a comprehensive re-assessment that it still meets the MSC standard.
