Friday Squid Blogging: UK Recognizes Squid as Sentient Beings
This seems big:
The UK government has officially included decapod crustaceans—including crabs, lobsters, and crayfish—and cephalopod mollusks—including octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish—in its Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill. This means they are now recognized as “sentient beings” in the UK.

Friday Squid Blogging: Squid Game Cryptocurrency Was a Scam
The Squid Game cryptocurrency was a complete scam:
The SQUID cryptocurrency peaked at a price of $2,861 before plummeting to $0 around 5:40 a.m. ET., according to the website CoinMarketCap. This kind of theft, commonly called a “rug pull” by crypto investors, happens when the creators of the crypto quickly cash out their coins for real money, draining the liquidity pool from the exchange.
I don’t know why anyone would trust an investment—any investment—that you could buy but not sell.
Wired story.

Friday Squid Blogging: Squid Eating Maine Shrimp
Squid are eating Maine shrimp, causing a collapse of the ecosystem. This seems to be a result of climate change.
Maine’s shrimp fishery has been closed for nearly a decade since the stock’s collapse in 2013. Scientists are now saying a species of squid that came into the Gulf of Maine during a historic ocean heatwave the year before may have been a “major player” in the shrimp’s downturn.
In 2012, the Gulf of Maine experienced some of its warmest temperatures in decades. Within a couple of years, the cold-water-loving northern shrimp had rapidly declined and the fishery, a small but valued source of income for fishermen in the offseason, closed.
Anne Richards, a biologist at the Northeast Fisheries Science Center in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and Margaret Hunter, a biologist with the Maine Department of Marine Resources, studied the collapse and found that it coincided with an influx of longfin squid, a major shrimp predator.
