03 August 2023 0 5K Report

Dear All,

we are launching a project aiming to understand the population structure of charismatic and enigmatic colossal squid, the biggest living invertebrate. Does anybody aware about some specimens / tissues preserved in ethanol so might be used for genetic sequencing?

Best regards and many thanks in advance,

Vlad
