sushi!

[Turnsky]

calamari actually, but i can see what you're getting at

[Fetty]

meh the only fish i like is err english word "lachs" (redish meat likes to swim up waterfalls to lay eggs then die)

i think the giant squid is much cooler cuz its bigger

[Bobboau]

the fish you are refering to is the Salmon I beleve

and yes large moluscs that could kill you shred you to bits andcut you in half with there beaks before you even knew they were there are indeed cool, especaly the giant squid as due to there blood chemistry the can only survive in salt water that is below 0C (salt water frezes at a lower temperature)

[FreeTerran]

That can many peole eat.

[Kamikaze]

*drool*

yummy... surume!

well, this one seems to live very well in water over 0C
since it was in shallow waters around New Zealand.

"The species, whose scientific name is mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, was previously thought to have lurked at least 800 meters down in the freezing waters near Antarctica, but the specimen found a fortnight ago was near the surface"

it was probly dead or dieing, there (giant squid at least, a diferent speciese so I may be wrong) blood can't hold oxygen much above freizeing, and even near NZ the waters 800m down is quite cold

"The squid was eating Patagonian Toothfish, which grow to two meters in length, when it was caught."

nope, actually, it was having lunch

Animals will go to enormous lengths for their food. Have you heard about the bats that go up a couple of kilometres into the atmosphere to catch moths? The swarms of bats consume 5 or 6 tonnes of moths each night.

they go to enormous lenghts, but not if that would threaten their lives
Survival instinct is the first thing that comes for animals, like those foxes who will eat their limb to get away from a trap.

Ooh yea *drools *

Got tentacle?

"A trawler caught the 150 kg, 330-pound squid in the sub-Antarctic Ross Sea about 3540 kilometers (2,200 miles) south of Wellington."

Not quite near New Zealand, then.

[Nico]

and so? water is not at 0C even there either.

Assuming the creature has a complex system like we do... and they don't.  It's a Mollusca-Cephalopoda.  You only start getting a complex circulatory system in fishes.  (annelids do have one, but it's crappy)
