[News]: Colossal squid stops traffic in Wellington - ABC Online

[Octosquid]

No, no it can't be true - no more great squid talks from SOS. Your public needs you Steve, consider the children of NZ.

From your criteria BTMan I must be a very serious colossal squid geek. Does anyone know where you go to get help for this condition?

Like Stickybeak I'm a newbie here and just learning the rules, but if anyone asks, I have just paid up to become a supporter. You know you can do it BTMan.

Payday is coming Pammy..

i share your pain SOS is the greatest on stage..

Am done with it I'm afraid; must find something new, but fresh water mussels (FWM) most certainly aren't on the horizon.

Hopefully will be out commercial squid jigging soon; that might open up an entirely new area of research for us.

HA!


and I call everyone on the team 'Sir'...

everyone?

Morid otoliths?

Have you considered assisting BTM and myself in ridding the waterways of aotearoa of imported salmonids?

Can you say Galiteuthis phyllura?

Does anyone know where you go to get help for this condition?

Why would anyone want help? Cephalopods are the answer to everything

 

[stickybeak]

everyone?

RATS - I'd forgotten about you.... *sigh*.... yes Sir....

 

[DWhatley]

SOS gave his last-ever giant/colossal squid talks last weekend (and I'm not joking)! Am moving on now.

Seems I heard something similar in a speach given almost two years ago . However, just in case, we rewatched the one of the In Search of Discovery specials tonight (the one where you were back at the ranch)

 

[Tintenfisch]

Sir? Kat will be pleased...

It's ok, I was a knight in a past life. BTW I think females are immune to the Antisquid due to the 5kg/20g sexual dimorphism of the brain.

Sir Kat the bold? I would think of a witty comeback to your small brain inference, but I have a short attention span...

 

[OB]

Huh?

 

[OB]

I get it

 

[OB]

Or, do I?

sloanii, gouldi or both?? I'd love to hear about any parasites you might spot, as I still don't have an id on my mystery beasts from the N.sloanii sample I have from the snares shelf (& one from the nugget point region!)
