The giant Humbolt squid came from Baja Mexico.
Iliana Ruiz-Cody (from NOAA) was a visiting squid expert here to work with D. Ketten and A. Mooney.
Image Of the Day caption:
WHOI biologist Aran Mooney and Dr. Iliana Ruiz-Cooley, a postdoctoral scientist at the NOAA-National Marine Fisheries Service Southwest regional office, examined a Humboldt squid before scanning its sensory structures at the WHOI Computerized Scanning and Imaging Center. Mooney, who studies how animals use sound underwater, was the first to demonstrate that Atlantic long-finned squids (Loligo pealeii) respond to underwater sounds, indicating that they can hear. Next, he plans to test sound responses of living Humboldt, or "jumbo," squids (Dosidicus gigas).
