I have heard of electrocuting fish just enough to stun them for research why cant this be done on a squid. They only need to hold still long enough to be tagged how hard can it be?
ob said:I think this whole excercise would become academic if only we knew how to get the squid's attention in the first place: attaching a tag only requires close contact, not so much complete immobilization, although it would certainly help. Then again, what type of tag are we looking at? One that goes "ping!"? Radio doesn't work underwater...

Maybe put some hooks on it too, so it sticks in the giants tummy for some time. These hooks should be biodegradable and fall apart after a while, so that the device can come out the back door.
Then, the device floats up to the surface to be collected, full of exciting information. Neat, aint it?
