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.
