Owen Nichols will discuss the life history and distributional ecology of
longfin inshore squid (Loligo pealeii) with a particular focus on the
species' occurrence in Nantucket Sound.  History and present status of the
squid fishery will be discussed, as well as implications of environmental
variations on distribution and abundance of the species.  Nichols will
conclude with a brief summary of his current research, which is conducted in
cooperation with local fishermen.
