Index of Subjects Humane issues aside (and not sure about that; maybe a head snip?) you gotta watch the tentacles, which can grasp and pull your finger to the beak which can inflict a nasty nip. Also prudent not to wear clothes you don't want to get inked! The folks here just jig them, carefully unhook them, then toss them into a bucket for later processing. Squid seem to come in irruptions and said irruptions are not an annual event, so it's also good to keep the old ears peeled locally! They are a rare feast-common famine phenomenon! -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of jocook.ns@gmail.com Sent: April 20, 2015 8:36 AM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Squid I've been thinking about getting back into fishing, and I love calamari. I may just go down to the Eastern Passage narrows and try my luck. I have one rather dumb question: However do you actually *kill* a squid? I know how to dispatch finfish reasonably humanely, but squid? Cheers, Joanne Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone on the Koodo network.

The Loligo would turn up early in the season and spawn in shallow waters (egg masses looked like bundlkes of latex gloves) Later (usually in Aug) the Illex would show up... but they spawned in open water with large geltinous egg masses.. not sure what s going on nowadays.. - Will chekc to see if there is anypone left in the O'Dor squid lab at Dal.

Someone claims the species of squid used to be illex but recently the loligo squid have appeared. I noticed the last few summers we caught large squid maybe 40 cms. This summer remains to be seen nevertheless some fresh calamari is always delicious! Enjoy the wait til they get here Paul --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com
