Squid meal is an excellent supplemental source of crude protein that equals or exceeds that of fish meal in feeding applications. Poultry In a growth trial (1 to 48-days) with chicks squid meal based diet was found to out perform fish meal and meat and bone meal based diets (Hulan et al., 1979). Fish In trials with gilthead seabream squid meal was found to be an excellent supplemental protein source (Fernandez-Palacios et al., 1996).
Reaching combined body and tentacle lengths up to 46 feet (14 m) and weights of at least 1100 pounds (500 kg), the colossal squid is a very large deep-sea predator. Like in many large species, all the largest individuals are female. They eat small and large fishes (including the Patagonian toothfish) and other squids.
