Martialia hyadesii is a species of squid commonly known as the sevenstar flying squid.
Distribution[]
M. hyadesii occurs in epipelagic and mesopelagic waters of the Southern Ocean. Its range may be circumpolar with a Sub-Antarctic distribution.[2]
Ecology[]
These large squid are known to prey upon deep-sea ridgeheads and other mesopelagic fish, and to be preyed upon in turn by king penguins and albatrosses.[3][2]
