Description Investigations of Southern Ocean cephalopods began
with the pioneering expedition of HMS Challenger
(Hoyle,1886) and Valdivia expedition conducted by
Germany (Odhner, 1923). After the 1970s, there has been
considerable research effort in cephalopod taxonomy
and abundance all over the world. However, very little
is known about the abundance and biodiversity of
cephalopods in the Southern Ocean sector. Southern
Ocean cephalopod fauna is distinctive, with high levels
of endemism in the squid and play an important role,
linking the abundant mesopelagic fish and crustaceans
with higher predators such as albatross, seals and whales. Although not yet commercially exploited species of the family Ommastrephidae have high potential (Collins
and Rodhouse, 2006).
