Gonatus fabricii, the Boreoatlantic Armhook Squid, is a squid in the family Gonatidae. It occurs in the northern Atlantic Ocean from Canada to the Barents Sea.[verification needed]
Until 1981, the name G. fabricii was usually misapplied to the very similar relative G. steenstrupi.
G. fabricii grows to 30 cm in mantle length.[3][verification needed]
The type specimen was collected off Greenland and is deposited at the Zoologisk Museum of Kobenhavns Universitet in Copenhagen.[4]
