Squidmageddon!
From here (via the discussions in Tonmo of course, though this time the news is a tad late - the Australian Science article referred to was published in August 2002, and can be viewed here):
Giant squid ‘taking over world’
By Simon BensonGIANT squid are taking over the world, well at least the oceans, and they are getting bigger.
According to scientists, squid have overtaken humans in terms of total bio-mass.
That means they take up more space on the planet than us.
The reason has been put down to overfishing of other species and climate change.
A report in the Australian science journal, Australasian Science, said marine researchers are now in universal agreement that cephalopods have been given an advantage not available to any other sea creature.
