It may be out of cutiosity or it could be a feeding response but the unit has worked both off of the coat of Japan and in the Gulf of Mexico. Because the MEDUSA draws wildlife in to collect photographs and video of live animals, the system is basically a camera trap. It can be lowered to abyssal depths but the 'sweet spot' for Giant Squid appears to be at or near 700m depth.
