Thanks, Ozz. About all I know is what I read on the net. So far, it seems that both Loligo and Humboldt are confined to the south half of California, so far as the net is concerned. First I've heard of "Pacific Squid". Loligo or something else?

Further research indicates it's Loligo opalescens.

Onykia robusta, the Robust Clubhook Squid, can grow to a maximum mantle length of 2 meters



One site claims another squid is in the area, but the specific one named is supposed to be limited to northern Atlantic.



So, three, maybe four squid present in Pudget Sound.



This is not a very easy subject to research on the net.
