STANFORD RESEARCHERS TRACK SQUID MIGRATION MYSTERY AS SEA CREATURES APPEAR IN
GULF OF ALASKA

Researchers are mind boggled (and concerned) by a squid population that has
migrated hundreds of miles north to the Gulf of Alaska.

PALO ALTO, Calif. (KGO) -- If you come across a California Market Squid, it may
be on your dinner plate. But when researchers from Stanford came across the sea
creatures, it was some place more unusual - in waters of the Gulf of Alaska
hundreds of miles north of their normal West Coast habitat.

"Yeah, their typical range would be from basically Washington State down to
Baja, California. And yeah, they made a pretty big leap, starting around 2015,
all the way up into the far northwestern Gulf of Alaska," explains marine
researcher Benjamin Burford, Ph.D.

Burford, was working as a graduate student at Stanford when he began looking
into the northern migration. He found the highly adaptable squid not only
extended their habitat, but managed to keep growing to their full size at the
same time.



"They have the ability, instead of having to like reach a specific size or age
in order to mature and breed, they can adjust that based on the conditions they
experience. And so often, what you'll see is squid that grow up in really poor
conditions like warm, not a whole lot of food, they'll mature at really small
body sizes," he says.

But at full size, he says the Alaska squid have the ability to hunt small fish,
potentially impacting populations of baby salmon and other sea life.



In recent years, marine biologists have noted a number of other marine species,
like juvenile Great White sharks extending their range further north -- to
waters near Monterey. Theories have centered on climate change, and warming
ocean temperatures.

Researchers are watching a weather pattern in the Pacific that they say is
having an impact on the migration patterns of juvenile great white sharks.



Stanford marine science professor Mark Denny, says the forces could be even more
complex.

"Which is one of the big messages out of Ben's paper is that you can't just look
at the water temperature went up. So they move, you know, well, you've got to
have, you know, the competition with other things. And, and the lower oxygen
levels and things like that, to explain, it's all you need is for pictures you
can get to arrive at, you know, some predictability with these things," says
professor Denny.

They say it's all critical to understanding which species might be on the move
in coming decades, along with where they might wind up. And just as importantly,
the impact they could have on everything from fishing to local ecosystems once
they establish themselves.

"Who are they eating? Who's eating them? Who are they competing with? Things
like that... because when you see an animal, a new a new animal and ecosystem,
they're essentially taking resources away from that ecosystem. That's kind of a
pessimistic view, but like, you know, their growth and abundance is getting
energy from somewhere," says Burford.
