Walls of White Squid, Dashing to Attach to Mates and Massive Eggs Baskets in Southern California
Southern California sees squid runs every few years, often found near sandy submarine canyons in La Jolla (San Diego) and Redondo Beach (Los Angeles). “Squid runs” are seen by divers when aggregations of market squid (Doryteuthis opalescens) rise from the depths on a journey up to shallow water to mate, lay eggs (females) and then die.
