Friday Squid Blogging: The Evolutionary Purpose of Pain
A new study shows that Doryteuthis pealei in pain—or whatever passes for pain in that species—has heightened sensory sensitivity and heightened reactions.
The idea, although this is a major extrapolation at this point, is that pain is a security mechanism. It helps us compensate for our injured—i.e. weakened—state.

Friday Squid Blogging: How Flying Squid Fly
Someone has finally proven how:
How do these squid go from swimming to flying? Four phases of flight are described in the research: launching, jetting, gliding and diving.
While swimming, the squid open up their mantle and draw in water. Then these squid launch themselves into the air with a high-powered blast of the water from their bodies. Once launched by this jet propulsion, these squid spread out both their fins and their tentacles to form wings. The squid have a membrane between their tentacles similar to the webbed toes of a frog. This helps them use their tentacles as a wing and create aerodynamic lift so they can glide similar to a well-made paper airplane.

Friday Squid Blogging: Squid Jigging
Good news from Malaysia:
The Terengganu International Squid Jigging Festival (TISJF) will be continued and become an annual event as one of the state’s main tourism products, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said.
He said TISJF will become a signature event intended to enhance the branding of Terengganu as a leading tourism destination in the region.
“Beside introducing squid jigging as a leisure activity, the event also highlights the state’s beautiful beaches, lakes and islands and also our arts, culture and heritage,” he said.
I assume that Malaysian squid jigging is the same as American squid jigging. But I don’t really know.

Friday Squid Blogging: Giant Squid as an Omen
An omen of what?
An increase in the number of giant squid being caught along the Sea of Japan coast is leading puzzled fishermen to fear their presence may be some kind of ‘omen’—although experts think the invertebrate are simply a bit cold.
