Cockatoo Squid This transparent cockatoo squid (Leachia sp.), also known as a glass squid, lives in the depths of the ocean and has many adaptations to help it survive there. It retains ammonia solutions inside its body that give it a balloon-like shape and help it float.
Fortunately, the adult Glass Squid is usually found at extreme ocean depths (7500 feet) so I donât believe humans have a direct impact on the adult form. Things like pollution, oil spills and other environmental catastrophes will harm the ocean and as a result impact the Glass Squid. The juvenile Glass Squid can typically be found toward the surface of the ocean. As a result, I suppose they could be captured in fishing nets, however, there is no commercial fishery for the Glass Squid. At the end of the day, I would think the biggest impact humans have on the Glass Squid is our lack of concern for the health of the ocean. By polluting the ocean we are jeopardizing all ecosystems. Thanks again for the thought provoking question.
