Don't feel bad about the first one, cause it could be any number of species that might appear like that.
The shape of the marks in the second screen is the give away.
A very large Halibut could appear the shape of the third pic. But unless the colorline was way high, you would not be seeing any hard return colors (reds) at those depths off a halibut (no air bladder).
The individual tiny marks of the last pic could be any number of small sea life, but the overall spacing and distribution in the water column is what indicates their type. While Squid do range throughout the water column, you will usually either find them off of or right on the bottom. When on the bottom, they are typically not going to be densely packed more than about 10' thick.
