A specimen of Architeuthis was caught on the Fladen Ground, c. 100 miles NE. of Aberdeen (Scotland) in 1982. The animal, a male with a mantle length of 900 mm and a minimum total mass of 18 kg, was probably mature. Some measurements are given and the occurrence of spermatangia (inverted spermatophores) implanted in the ventral arms of the animal is discussed.
