The Deep Range is a 1957 science fiction novel by British writer Arthur C. Clarke, concerning a future sub-mariner who works in the field of mariculture, herding whales. The story includes the capture of a sea monster similar to a kraken.
The novel is based on a short story by the same name that Clarke wrote in November 1953 and which was first published in Frederik Pohl's Star Science Fiction No.3, copyrighted in 1954 but published in January 1955.[2]
The short story was then published elsewhere, including in Argosy magazine in February 1956 and collected in Clarke's Tales from Planet Earth (1989).
