Abstract
Transportation and maintenance of adult squid (Doryteuthis bleekeri) was investigated successfully. Squid were transported on a three to five hour trip and could then be maintained in circulating sea water in a closed system aquarium for up to three weeks. The most crucial factor for maintenance of squid was filtration of the sea water. The survival percentage of squid was 90-100% over the first week.
