Loligo pealii; Nerves; Squids as laboratory animalsAbstract
From the Preface: Unfortunately, a guide like this one does not happen simply. It is the product
of polite requests (at first polite, anyway) from colleagues, of mutual nagging, and
of wives with persistant memories. What we are attempting to achieve with this
contribution is a consolidation of many years of personal experience with squid
into a source of practical information hopefully useful to the increasing number of
people working with the squid. One does not undertake the task of preparing such
a guide for a limited audience with unreserved enthusiasm. It always seems the
same amount of work could produce something for a larger audience and therefore,
hopefully, of greater significance. On the other hand when the hours and days spent
on developing handling procedures, techniques, and "tricks of the squid trade" are
considered it seems untenable not to pass this otherwise unpublishable data on in
hope of saving others like pain and time. Therefore, what we have attempted to do
is informally put together information that should prove useful to people interested
in all aspects of squid biology. In this way we hope to make the laboratory utilization
of the squid more efficient not only from the standpoint of the investigator and the
collector but also for the future of the species Loligo pealei.
