Jason,
a group of squid is called a "school" :)
Guaranteed as from the Dalhousie University on the study of Squid and there habitat and tracking by tagging methods...so there ya have it.. ;)
Brett
PS
When ya come across a school catch em, eat em, don't release em ;D

[Dezzer]

PLANKTON, if they're little suckers and can't swim against the current.
BAIT, if they're packed close together in a plastic bag.

a good feed?

[straddie]

I think a "squirt" of squid would be appropriate ;D

[seatime]

There was a crook squid trying to swim across Moreton Bay when a sand crab came along,
" you don't look too good mate, do u want a hand" .
"thanks mate" said the squid, "I need to get to Amity, but I'm scared of the sharks"
"don't worry about the sharks, I'll look after u" said the crab, "I'll carry u on my back"
when they got to Amity the crab called out for his mate the shark,
"what r u doing" said the squid.
"here's that sick squid I owe u" #the crab said to the shark!

sorry, thought it was appropriate, I'd post in the jokes except I've had them deleted before, now u know why #:)

If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur. (Red Adair, when asked what his fee was for extinguishing oil well fires after the Gulf war.)

I thought it was called an 'ink' of squid, a glint of goldfish, a murder of sharks?, and a float or raft of crocodiles.

But ink of squid is correct I think.

My apologies to all for being so predictably boring; but a slow day at work has enabled me to extensively research the answer to this question. The results of my labour (at consideral taxpayers expense too) are as follows.

A group of squid is called a "school." Yeah, same as fish.

Several squid are called "squids."

I know. Boom boom.

Yeah,

I will agree with Wilcara, school is the collective noun. Shoal is also used sometimes as well, as it is for fishes.

It is actually an "inkling of squid".
a few others:
A shrewdness of apes, an obstinacy of buffalo, a quiver of cobras, a murder of crows, a pietousness of doves, a busyness of ferrets, a charm of finches, a smack of jellyfish, an exultation of larks, an unkindness of ravens, a crash of rhinos, a murmuration of starlings, a lamentation of swans.
