[quote name='NeverBlanked' post='9099' date='Jun 15 2007, 01:23 PM']Sarah let me know the limits of your study I have some frozen guys from earlier in the season if it helps. Always looking to help out science and interested in what kind of study you are doing.[/quote]
Wow, thanks, that's very generous of you, but unfortunately, I can't use frozen squid. I'm doing experiments with the blood, so I have to extract blood from live squid. And since Loligo pealei are so small, I have to get blood from about a dozen individuals in order to have enough to do an experiment. One of the university boats does trawls every Monday, and they caught squid last week so I'm tagging along this Monday.
I've heard that it's easier to catch squid by diving (which I don't know how to do), or by jigging at low tides. Should I wait for low tides, or does it matter?
