The California Market Squid lives from Alaska to Baja, Mexico. They only live for 4-9 months! Their brief life cycle has four stages: eggs, hatchlings, juveniles, and adults. These eggs laid by the females will take 3-5 weeks to hatch. These squid are not only important to the ocean ecosystem but for human consumption as well. Knowing more about them help keep tasty squid in our markets.
