Transport of the ommastrephid squid Todarodes pacificus under cold-water anesthesia

We describe a method for transporting live squid, Todarodes pacificus (Cephalopoda: Ommastrephidae), using cold-water anesthesia. Squid were placed individually in 30-l plastic bags with 5 l of 0–1°C seawater and 10–15 l of oxygen gas. Thirteen of 14 anesthetized squid survived 6.5 h transport by ca...

Zusammenfassung:We describe a method for transporting live squid, Todarodes pacificus (Cephalopoda: Ommastrephidae), using cold-water anesthesia. Squid were placed individually in 30-l plastic bags with 5 l of 0–1°C seawater and 10–15 l of oxygen gas. Thirteen of 14 anesthetized squid survived 6.5 h transport by car and airplane with no signs of distress or shock. The longest survival under anesthesia was 10 h.
