In our newly published research, we discovered that oval squid camouflage by color change combined with shapeshifting while sitting still, just like octopus.
New study shows how white oval squids can select from an impressive range of camouflage strategies to masquerade as rocks, become invisible in the sand, or dazzle predators. See them in action 👇 www.oist.jp/news-center/...

We described new cestode species for science: Nybelinia enterika and Phoreiobothrium sp. in economically important oval squid, that might cause allergic responses in human.

Fortunately, aquaculture disrupts their life cycle and fully cultured squid are cestode parasite-free.
