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).
The paired tail fin is attached to the upper surface of the mantle and is made up of muscle. The colossal squid swims forward through the water by undulating the fin longitudinally. The fin is unusually massive and muscular (1,183 millimetres long and 982 millimetres wide). This probably enables the colossal squid to move forward quite rapidly in short bursts when attacking prey.
