I just did a web search - I think that the nautilus might live far too deep to be catchable on regular squidding gear. These photos show a nautilus trap being pulled up from 400 metres deep <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> I have found 2 nautilus shells washed up before - but they were both from the paper nautilus (also called the argonaut), which is different to the type of nautilus which these traps are catching.
