According to Stanford University, there are millions of Humboldt squid off the coast of California, and they are consuming the native fish populations at an alarming rate.
Humboldt Squid can grow up to six feet long and weigh over a hundred pounds. Typically found from Chile to Mexico, their numbers off the California coast have increased dramatically in the last decade. They are now often caught in the lines of deep sea fisherman.
