Cold water increases oxygen solubility, which may support the squid's large body size. However, the metabolic cost of maintaining muscular function in such conditions requires highly efficient energy usage.
Studying these adaptations helps scientists understand how life persists in polar marine ecosystems increasingly affected by climate change.
