[Page update d May 2013]

October 2012 You may have heard about the softballsized blue eye that washed ashore this month in Pompano Beach, Fla. After speculation that it had come from a giant squid, scientists and fishermen now say it's likely that of a large swordfish or marlin, though final testing has not been completed. It is unusual to find fish eyes floating in the water. This one may have been removed from the swordfish by a fisherman and drifted to shore before it could become a meal for other sea creatures.
