Dear Marmamers, We live parts of the year on the island of Dominica in the eastern Caribbean. The island is known to host some families of sperm whales year round. Years ago we found a carcass of the potential prey of these whales and it was identified as Pholidoteuthis adami by a German squid expert. But recently we found another almost complete body of a deep sea squid, probably brought up by a hunting sperm whale, that we could not identify yet. Therefor we would ask to help us with the identification. It would help to expand our knowledge of the diet of the sperm whales in this area. You will find some pictures here: deep sea squid found off Dominica http://www.wale-hautnah.de/squid/ Sincerely yours Andrea and Wilfried Steffen Sperm whale research pottwal@pottwale.de www.pottwale.de http://www.wale-hautnah.de/squid/
