So squids die after they mate, or the battle for a mate kills them?

[@uwxplorer]

That's a great question. My impression, from what I witnessed is that there isn't any deadly fight going on, merely chasing. If you google "squid reproduction", it will appear that very little is known about the life cycle of these animals. However squids don't live long, and most likely only mate once. Most dead squids I saw were holding on to a shellfish or a stone (probably misled for a shellfish), suggesting they must exhaust themselves so much during mating (and they are indeed frantic during that time), that they must be seeking food right after. I suppose they can't find as much in shallow water where they reproduce, than in deeper water where they live, and that turns the whole episode into a fatal one?

Wonder what that looks like in giant squid terms...

[@MegaYoteStuff]

I think that the tube thing is a giant germ or bacteria

[@PinkProgram]

actually that tube thing is related to fish and humans ^_^ They are Chordates ^_^
