cephlapods dont need monacles, their retinas, unlike ours, have the nerves coming out of the back, instead of coming out the front and blocking the light to the rods and cones.

Evolution screwed our eyes over and gave them perfect eyes.

Yes, that's a Colossal Squid caught in the Antarctic almost a year ago. Thing weighed in around 2 tons, I believe...

They had to kill it and bring it on board due to international deep-sea fishing laws (requiring everything caught to be catalogued). The squid was delivered to a Marine Biology center in New Zealand, and was thawed using a large industrial strength Microwave set on low-power.

BTW, they hooked the thing while fishing for deep-sea fish. It was Omm-Nomming their catch, and got caught on the hooks itself. It was still alive and thrashing about when they brought it on board. Took them 2 hours.

From what I understand, a giant or colossal squid wouldn't survive at or near the surface anyway being a deep sea creature, so whether they killed it or not it wouldn't have lived much longer.

I could be wrong though...

Also moar giant / colossal squid plees

Squids aren't affected by pressurization in the same way we are. They're very capable of surviving in shallower waters... they just don't as they prefer the dark cold depths. The only known predator of Giant and Colossal squids are Sperm Whales, who are also very resistant to the effects of pressurizations.

couldn't you just catch them and tranquilizer them to sleep and then dump them into the pressurized water tank?

I have a feeling that the New Zealand fisherman PROBABLY weren't equipped with tranquilizers that could take down a giant squid.
