July 23, 2007 – Over the last five years, large, predatory Humboldt squid have moved north from equatorial waters and invaded the sea off Central California, where they may be decimating populations of Pacific hake, an important commercial fish.
Opalescents, also known as market squid, are showing up in waters previously considered too cold for them, and fishermen are paying attention.
The novelty of seeing a jumbo squid in Unalaska is not wearing off: a second one washed ashore Monday night.
