humboldt squid
калмар на Humboldt


Explanation:
kazva se "Giant Humboldt Squid" ili na latinski "Dosidicus gigas", no tova ne e the giant squid architheuthis, kojto e izvesten kato "гигантски калмар".

Taka che mozhe da se prevede kato "vid gigantski kalmar", ili ako e nuzhna preciznost na prevoda, az bih go prevel kato "калмар на Humboldt"

"This squid species is not the giant squid architheuthis, but another smaller (but still very impressive one) relative of it. Their name is Humboldt-squid (not Humberg, their name comes from the Humboldt-Stream, which was named for Alexander von Humboldt, a very popular German Biologist and Discoverer of the 19th century":

humboldt squid
калмар-дозидикус (Dosidicus gigas)


Explanation:
Само предложение от моя страна. :)

Така наричат този вид калмар руснаците. Не съм специалист в областта, но много често сме правили заемки от руския; възможно е и тук да имаме същия феномен. :)

Между другото, разговорното име на калмара е JUMBO FLYING SQUID. Не знам дали би било удачно да се преведе и с "ГОЛЯМ ЛЕТЯЩ (БЪРЗ) КАЛМАР", за да се разграничи от останалите видове в случай, че все още няма възприето българско наименование.
