The Natural Laboratory, a podcast exploring science for Bay Area National Parks, joins scientists off Monterey Bay on a fishing adventure in search of the Humboldt squid, Disodicus gigas. These voracious deep-water predators, which can grow to up to ten feet long, are new arrivals to the central California coast. Scientists from Stanford Universitys Hopkins Marine Station are studying the squid, trying to understand why theyve moved into the northeast Pacific coast and what affect they might have on the local ecosystem.
