Disco Fever

Squid are some of the ocean’s most fascinating inhabitants, with over 300 known species dwelling at various depths. These creatures play a vital role in marine food webs and human diets alike. They have been harvested by coastal communities for thousands of years, used as a sustainable food source or as bait for catching larger fish. Their high protein content makes them a valuable resource for both predators and humans.
 
Despite their mysterious allure, squid are social creatures, almost always found traveling in groups. These schools of squid can cover impressive distances together, but their group dynamics can take a surprising turn. Larger squid have been known to turn on their own, preying on smaller members of the group - a testament to their survival-driven nature.
 
From their group behaviors to their role in ecosystems and cultures, squid are a reminder of the ocean’s complexity and the delicate balance that sustains it.
