Haliphron atlanticum (Cephalopoda, Alloposidae) caught in Skjørafjorden (64°N), Norway

In late autumn 2000 a large female specimen of the alloposid cephalopod Haliphron atlanticum Steenstrup, 1861 was caught at approximately 100 m depth in a fjord in central Norway. This is the fourth record from Norwegian waters. Despite only a few records from northern areas, the four specimens reported in Norwegian waters suggest that H. atlanticum have a more northerly distribution than previous records should indicate.
