Do squid give birth to live young?

Answer 1

No they don't... I am doing some research at the moment on a school based assignment which requires me to look at how mating in squid's work. Here's how it goes...

A male squid runs into a female squid, there is a struggle (almost like rape) for the male to inject his sperm into the female. This happens and the sperm is injected into the females arm, this increases the rate of maturity which then causes the body to detect the sperm and produce eggs, these eggs are covered in a jelly - like substance and pushed out through the females funnel. She then grabs on to it with her arms. The jelly - like substance releases a chemical which causes the sperm to swim up and break the barrier of her arm and eventually the egg. This egg is fertilised and the female releases it to drift of into the distance. I think the average young is 1-2
