Hi everyone!
So I'm thinking of a subject for my animal physiology class. Of course, I want to do a paper on a marine form, hopefully a ceph.
Soooo... I have a few questions related to the various ideas I have for subjects:
1) Gas exchange - Are deep water cephs susceptible to anything similar to the bends?
2) Neurological system - Anyone know of any papers on the speed of an action potential down the giant axon of an Architeuthis?
3) Does anyone know if the sperm whale can actually stun or otherwise attack a squid using sound?
4) How is the overall metabolic rate of deep-sea squid?
5) Any other ideas for a ceph physiology paper? 8)
Thanks in advance to all of you!
Sushi and Sake,

P.S. We (TONMO) got a nod from Deep Fried Live with Tako the Octopus. Try the site out... Its funny, and the recipes are top-notch.
