"His body rests in a specially made 3.8m tank filled with chilled sea water between 10C and 18C."

Why not cooking oil at 150C ? ;-)

The director of the AUT's Earth and Oceanic Sciences Research Institute Dr Steve O'Shea supplied the specimen for display. "I live, eat and breathe squid," he said.

Sure, but does he BLOG squid?

"The Whole 8.23m": now that would be a catchy title for a movie.

Interesting. Any idea why they switched from alcohol to water for preservation?

My guess is alcohol preservaton is more expensive and people don't like the smell of alcohol.
