巨大的鱿鱼首次在深海拍摄

一支国际研究人员团队首次在深海中捕获了少年巨型鱿鱼

An international team of researchers has filmed a colossal squid for the first time in its deep-sea habitat.

一支国际研究人员在深海栖息地首次拍摄了巨大的鱿鱼。

The sighting was announced Tuesday by the Schmidt Ocean Institute. The squid was a juvenile about 1 foot in length spotted at a depth of 1,968 feet in the South Atlantic Ocean. Full-grown adult colossal squids, which scientists have uncovered from the bellies of whales and seabirds, can reach lengths up to 23 feet — almost the size of a small fire truck.

施密特海洋研究所周二宣布了目击。乌贼是在南大西洋的1,968英尺深处发现约1英尺长的少年。科学家从鲸鱼和海鸟的腹部发现了成年的成年巨型鱿鱼，可以达到23英尺的长度，几乎是一辆小型消防车的大小。

The squid was spied last month near the South Sandwich Islands during an expedition to search for new sea life. Researchers at the institute and the University of Auckland waited to verify the species identification with other independent scientists before releasing the footage.

上个月，鱿鱼在南三明治群岛附近被窥视，以寻找新的海洋生物。研究所和奥克兰大学的研究人员在发布镜头之前，等待与其他独立科学家进行验证。

“I really love that we have seen a young colossal squid first. This animal is so beautiful,” said Kat Bolstad, a squid researcher at the Auckland University of Technology in New

“我真的很喜欢我们首先见过年轻的巨型鱿鱼。

“我真的很喜欢我们首先看到了一只年轻的巨型鱿鱼。这只动物是如此美丽。”新西兰奥克兰理工大学的鱿鱼研究员凯特·博斯塔德（Kat Bolstad）说。

Researchers are testing different cameras in hopes of catching an adult colossal squid, Bolstad said.

博尔斯塔德说，研究人员正在测试不同的摄像机，以期抓住成年巨大的鱿鱼。

The young squid is almost entirely transparent, with thin arms. As adults, the squids lose this glassy appearance and become an opaque dark red or purple. When full grown, they are considered to be the world’s largest known invertebrates.

年轻的鱿鱼几乎完全透明，手臂薄。作为成年人，鱿鱼失去了这种玻璃状外观，并变成不透明的深红色或紫色。当充满种植时，它们被认为是世界上最大的无脊椎动物。
