More on CA Market Squid

News of the California market squid fishery closure is spreading.

"We have had a banner year for market squid this year," said Dale Sweetnam, a Fish and Game marine biologist who oversees the commercial squid market. "The colder-than-normal water conditions we have observed since February have provided optimal conditions for squid spawning."
