This is a short video of a glass squid that was brought up in a MOCNESS tow from the deepest net, 800-1000 meters, on 2 September 2012 in the NE Pacific at station 7 (47.02172N 144.61145W). It got a bit damaged during the slow ride to the surface but was still alive. Notice the huge eyes, necessary for gathering light at great depths where it's pitch black.
