The predecessor to this book was A Guide to the Laboratory Use of
the Squid Loligo pealei published by the Marine Biological
Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts in 1974. The revision of this
long out of date guide, with the approval of the Marine Biological
Laboratory, is an attempt to introduce students and researchers to
the cephalopods and particularly the squid as an object of
biological research. Therefore, we have decided to expand on its
original theme, which was to present important practical aspects
for using the squid as experimental animals. There are twenty two
chapters instead of the original eight. The material in the
original eight chapters has been completely revised. Since more
than one method can be used for accomplishing a given task, some
duplication of methods was considered desirable in the various
chapters. Thus, the methodology can be chosen which is best suited
for each reader's requirements. Each subject also contains a
mini-review which can serve as an introduction to the various
topics. Thus, the volume is not just a laboratory manual, but can
also be used as an introduction to squid biology. The book is
intended for laboratory technicians, advanced undergraduate
students, graduate students, researchers, and all others who want
to learn the purpose, methods, and techniques of using squid as
experimental animals. This is the reason why the name has been
changed to its present title. Preceding the chapters is a list of
many of the abbreviations, prefixes, and suffixes used in this
volume.
