The large and aggressive Humboldt squid has begun appearing in the waters of California's Monterey Bay.
Humboldt can obtain an adult length of seven feet, are armed with 1000's of barbs and possess a powerful parrot like beak. They are known for attacking everything potentially edible including divers.
“Now that they’re in California, when they come inshore, they start eating hake and anchovies and rock fish, other things that people are interested in,” said Dr. Lou Zeidberg with Stanford University.
“These are some of the really important fishes,” he said, “for Mrs. Paul’s Fish Sticks.”
