…just kidding. The latest Giant Squid catch measures in at 6m and 230kg. Bert Tober’s trawler, Zeehan, was approximately 40km off the coast of Portland, Australia when it netted the monster on Sunday at a depth of 500m. Apparently, it took ten men to put the squid in the freezer.
If these animals are so rare to science, how are we letting fisherman shove them in iceboxes left and right? Eventually the scientific justification for this isn’t going to justify this kind of catch. I mean, Te Papa already did a darn good job dissecting the last one … now we throw another one their way?
