predation pressure on squid populations. As predator 

 populations in the Northwest Atlantic are recovered 

 under current management initiatives, a multispecies 

 management approach will be crucial to avoid conflicts 

 between squid and finfish fisheries and should be ap- 

 plied to species beyond those presented in this article.
