As the squids got a little bigger, the research group changed the size of the tank and their food, so the squids’ stress was minimized.

この結果、卵から生まれたあと90日生きるイカは、今まで10%以下でしたが、90%以上になりました
The result was, the eggs hatched into squids that live 90 days, of which 10% do poorly and 90% do well, as of now.
