Squid meal is an excellent supplemental source of crude protein that equals or exceeds that of fish meal in feeding applications. Poultry In a growth trial (1 to 48-days) with chicks squid meal based diet was found to out perform fish meal and meat and bone meal based diets (Hulan et al., 1979). Fish In trials with gilthead seabream squid meal was found to be an excellent supplemental protein source (Fernandez-Palacios et al., 1996).
Squids are cephalopod molluscs. They are closely related to octopi and in the same phylum as clams and snails. Squid have generally long, arrow shaped bodies, with a pen (internal shell-like shaft). They have 8 arms and 2 tentacles that they use to capture prey. They move by jet propulsion, by sucking water into their body cavity and expelling it with great speed.
