Draft:List of bigfin squid specimens and sightings

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Date - Dates are given to the level of precision available from the source material - telemetry displayed is used for observations where an ROV video is the primary source

Observer - Corresponds either to the person who collected the specimen; the vessel the specimen was collected on, or the vessel that observed the specimen for video-only observations.

Location - Given in Latitude/Longitude when available, otherwise the general region is given. For ROV dives with navigation data available, a link to the corresponding dive track is given, unless a more precise location is specified by a secondary source. Some coordinates from commercial ROVs are specified via UTM rather than Latitude/Longitude.

Depth - Supplied based on precision available from collection method for physical specimens; otherwise telemetry from ROV observations is used.
