In water barely above freezing and often thousands of meters deep, metabolic rates slow dramatically, yet this species still achieves sizes rivaling the largest predatory sharks found in tropical seas.
Such extreme growth in energy-poor, lightless environments challenges assumptions about size limits in deep-sea ecosystems and demonstrates that gigantism is not restricted to sunlit, food-rich waters.
