Description 

Squids are common to many areas (North Atlantic, Mediterranean, etc.) and are often available in excess of the human demand. The excess squid can be processed to produce squid meal and squid oil.

Nutritional aspects
Nutritional attributes 

Squid meal is an excellent supplemental source of crude protein that equals or exceeds that of fish meal in feeding applications.

Poultry 

In a growth trial (1 to 48-days) with chicks squid meal based diet was found to out perform fish meal and meat and bone meal based diets (Hulan et al., 1979).

Fish 

In trials with gilthead seabream squid meal was found to be an excellent supplemental protein source (Fernandez-Palacios et al., 1996).

Crustaceans 

Squid meal was found to be a good source of supplemental protein for prawns (Lim et al., 1978), (Casib, 1982; Marzuqi et al., 1992). When shrimp were fed diets containing squid meal feed conversion and gain was increased (Cruz-Suarez et al., 1992).
