All biologists know this, but the commercial fishers deny it and pay the politicians to ignore it. Most people just don't know.
Really, as the article on humbolt squid points out, in ways the squid being there is a bit unnatural. They are there because the longer lived species have already been wiped out.
That is why we desperately need the preserves. It is already very very late.
And the squid, they hug back.
