Baby Squid (doot doot do do do)
February 22, 2021
A larval squid observed through a microscope during TAS ’17 Dawn White’s voyage aboard NOAA Ship Reuben Lasker.

Fun fact: Baby squid are adorable! Just had to share one last image from under the microscope – thanks, Nick, for pointing this out! At this larval stage, the squid are mainly transparent except for their developing eyes and chromatophores (sac-like structures filled with pigments that help the squid undergo color changes). Looking at the enlarged photo at right you can just make out the scale – our little friend was a whole 3 mm in diameter! Too cute!Read the blog post
