Teuthology
I borrowed a book from the library called The Search for the Giant Squid. It is a book of rather daunting size, as befits its subject matter, illustrated with sporadic pictures, mostly of whales attempting to eat the title character. According to a definition in the first chapter, my endeavours to read this book mark me as an amateur teuthologist (squid scholar).
P.S. In the same book it said that all giant squid caught so far have been moribund. Moribund (Webster tells me) means close to death.
