Thanks for the interest! I'll keep looking and let you all know if I find out anything.

As I said, I'm really not sure, but please do not let the lack of direct comparison to the arctic specimens that are all we have to look at (stills and the Japanese vide) dissuade you, they are all either Clione anatarcticus or Clione limnacina. It is possible that this is the only footage of this animal. I can not even find photographs of the other species known, but I will continue to search.

I can not believe that it is a squid (which was my first guess also), the single dorsal discounts that possibility.
