Resumo(s)
Remains of an adult specimen of the poorly known oceanic cephalopod, Taningia danae Joubin, 1931 were found floating in the south-western waters of Tenerife. Here we report for the first time an adult stage of the species in the Canary Islands. The remains, with a total weight of 21.169 kg, presumably belonged to a large adult female given the presence of spermatangia implanted intramuscularly in the ventral side of the mantle. This study confirms the presence of all life stages of the species in the Canary Islands.
