California content of squid (Mollusca: Cephalopoda)
Published information appears to be lacking on the chemical composition and calorific content of Southern Ocean squid, which are important prey of sperm whales and many seabirds. Data for 17 species of squid (all but one from the Northern Hemisphere) are reviewed. lt is concluded that they have calo...
