Abstract
: Conditions for transporting live young and subadults of the squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana were investigated in a laboratory experiment and transport trial. In the lab experiment, survival was examined for various seawater conditions and transport procedures. The quality of the water containing the squid decreased (pH 4°C) after 24 h, but 12 of 33 examined squid (body weight (BW) 5.0–877 g) survived these changes. Squid survival was high when the BW : seawater volume ratio started below 30. Also, survival was higher in large containers such as a styrofoam box with large (>1620 cm2) bottom area. Based on these criteria, 24 squid (BW 2 h) acclimation period survived the transfer.
