The argonauts are a group of pelagic octopuses. They are also called paper nautili, referring to the paper-thin eggcase that females secrete; however, as octopuses, they are only distant relatives of true nautili.W CalCOFI holds 101 observations of it in 1 dataset between 2002 and 2019, as invert, across 2 taxa under it.R
