Main_board,
Right now I'm looking at various schools in eastern Canada mainly because moving to the other side of the country is a tad too expensive for a starving student like me. To find potential supervisors I've been looking at the biology departments of each school and contacting professors that are doing research in areas of my interest (invertebrates and fisheries). Basically, you just have to try to contact as many people as you can and see what turns up. One thing I've found...all the squid people I've met or contacted are super helpful and will try to help you out.
As for my honours thesis, it has actually nothing to do with squid - in fact it is on larval fish distributions. Luckily though, I had the opportunity to work on squid before I moved to NL, so I do have a bit of a background from that.
Funding for squid research? Well, I'll let you know if I ever find any. School's a bit busy lately so haven't had a chance to sit down and really look for some. But when I find some, I'll let you know.
p.s. First year is always crazy.....it gets better closer to 4th year!
