MEDUSA Unit
Numéro d’image : 13360287
| The device that has captured footage of live Giant Squid (Architeuthis dux) was invented by Dr. Edith Widder. The unit is called the 'MEDUSA.' The machine has batteries, specialized camera systems, and specific lighting to capture squid without scaring them away. An arm that extends from the MEDUSA has a unit on it called an 'eJelly.' The eJelly produces flashes of light in patterns that resemble bioluminescent organisms that live in the deep ocean. These flashes of light attract Giant Squid. It may be out of cutiosity or it could be a feeding response but the unit has worked both off of the coat of Japan and in the Gulf of Mexico. Because the MEDUSA draws wildlife in to collect photographs and video of live animals, the system is basically a camera trap. It can be lowered to abyssal depths but the 'sweet spot' for Giant Squid appears to be at or near 700m depth. This image was taken of the unit being recovered by the RV Point Sur in the Gulf of Mexico, 2019, after it had successfully | |
