Partly right...Their diets vary from region to region and does usually include a good variety of fish. The main point is that this is just one animal in the ocean that eats more then humans do...there are plenty of other fish eating species out there. As POS said earlier...you need more then one movie to come up with an answer.
"One study, carried out around the
Galápagos, found that squid from the genera
Histioteuthis (62%),
Ancistrocheirus (16%), and
Octopoteuthis (7%) weighing between 12 and 650 grams (0.026 and 1.43 lb) were the most commonly taken
