How big do southern calamary get?

[glen]

Hi all,



I have been asked recently, how big do southern calamary actually get?



I have been told by squid researchers in tasmania, that the biggest sample they have encountered so far was 515mm in mantle length and 3.6kg body weight.



If you have any proven and first-hand proof of larger squid please let us know!



And photos would also be welcome. You can post them in this chat board too using the "file attachments" function. Or you can provide a link to a photo on another website using the IMG button.



Cheers,
