Squid

The Squid is a fish that can be found in the ocean between December and mid-August, at any time of the day. Despite it being called a fish in, it is infact a type of mollusc/mollusk, like (but not directly related to) the Octopus.

Further Information
The Japanese Flying Squid as it is often called is a northern Pacific species. It can be found around Japan, Russia and across the Bering Strait and around parts of Alaska and Canada. These squid are a large supply of food for many marine predators.

The name "flying" squid refers to their tendency to propel them high out of the water at heights of around 20-30 metres or higher. The reason for this is suspected to be a way to save energy on long migration routes or to avoid predators, but the truth remains uncertain.
