A cockatoo squid (likely Taonius borealis) encountered at 585 meters depth during a site survey between the 2-legged mooring EOM leg anchor and the low-voltage node LV01C at Oregon Offshore. The squid was red when we first encountered it, and then turned transparent as the ROV ROPOS took video. Credit: UW/NSF-OOI/CSSF, rOPOS Dive R1752, V14.
