paulg Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hi , I've been into the squidding scene the last few years and caught a fair share of squid over that period . Whilst cleaning my squid today ,2 of them had these soft white needle like substance inside them.,they were approx 1mm in diameter and about 10mm long. They were everywhere inside the cone part. Does anyone have any idea of what they are?? Mr rb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulg Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 I searched Google last night , it appears that they are male sperm , Hopefully someone else can confirm ??? And have a habit of latching on to soft skin. Apparently a Korean women who was eating a par boiled whole squid , had 12 of these sperm latching on the inside of her mouth. Who then had to get them removed surgically !!!! What the ......! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2159692/Womans-mouth-falls-pregnant-squid-biting-sea-creature-scientists-claim.html Mr rb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Correct, they are male sperm. If you examine a few others caught in the same area, you will probably find eggs inside them. From my fishing exploits, this time of year is major breeding time for squid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
