Non-free media information and use rationale true for Onykia robusta
Description

Photograph of a sick/dying Onykia robusta taken by H. Kubota in southern Japanese waters. Originally identified as Architeuthis dux in European Seashells, which, if true, would have made it the first image of a live giant squid (taken more than a decade prior to the "true" first habitat images in 2004).

Onykia robusta

Portion used

one image (video of the same encounter exists)

Low resolution?

yes

Purpose of use

This image is used to illustrate the section of the article that discusses it. It shows the animal's similarity to Architeuthis sp. and how the use of wide-angle photography exaggerated the size of the squid such that it appeared impossibly large for Moroteuthis robusta.

Replaceable?

Irreplaceable as it depicts a historical event of which no free images are known to exist.
