Not scientific: Southern calamari squid live for a maximum of one year and can reach a total tube length of 50cm although are usually encountered at around 30 – 40cm weighing in at roughly 1 – 2kg. Sexual maturity occurs at around 7- 8 months of age when the squid are 15 – 20cm in length ref: http://fish-on.com.au/what-the-fish/...hern-calamari/ Better science: The biology of the species has been extensively studied off southern Australia where it was found that sexual maturity was attained at about 7-8 months of age and 15-20 cm ml. ref: https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/as...n-Calamari.pdf Happy reading

Thanks for all the links Mark - I was being lazy and hoping for and easily digestible diagram
But one of the articles suggested it takes around 8 months to get to a 20cm hood. By my calculations thats and average of 2.5cm a month for the first 8 months. Thanks again |

Nah I noticed a little fella munching on my plastic the other day and I was wondering when it was born and how long before these lures would be matching the hatch.
I remember seeing squid of the same approximate size in October on the shallow reefs in PPB - so I was surprised to see a squid of that size in June. Now I'm beginning to wonder if they were the same species - I might be getting arrows and calamari confused. |
