According to Schneier on Security, a recent article in Nature explains that increasing squid populations are not primarily due to overproduction or direct human encouragement, but rather result from the removal of natural predators combined with rising sea temperatures.
The piece highlights two main factors: reductions in predator numbers and warmer ocean conditions. These changes appear to create more favorable environmental conditions for squid reproduction and survival at current population levels.
