The Lives of Squid (a la "Green Porno")

__-
Last week during our discussion of contested ecology of cod, seals, and fisherman in the North Atlantic one other species made an appearance: the squid. One big question was what their role was in accounting for the dynamics among populations of cod in the ocean...but then the squid-topic elusively swam away from us.

Isabella Rosselini's "Green Porno" series has been exploring the lives of creatures for three seasons now, but this last one has featured a bit of a twist by including the human food ecology context for organisms such as the shrimp, anchovy, and squid in here "Bon Appetit" series.

Check them all out, but the SQUID one is particularly interesting in the context of overfishing, ecology, and energy use on a global scale.

enjoy!
