Researchers detect giant squid DNA in deep waters off Western Australia's coast

Researchers surveying submarine canyons off Western Australia's Ningaloo Coast detected giant squid genetic material in six separate water samples using environmental DNA analysis. Scientists collected over 1,000 samples from depths exceeding 4,500 meters and identified 226 species total, including dozens never previously recorded in WA waters. The findings underscore vast unexplored deep-sea biodiversity.
