 | | Cuttlefish are used by man as food, as a source of ink, and for the cuttlebone, a dietary supplement providing calcium for cage birds. | | | Cuttlefish inhabit shallow tropical or temperate coastal waters, usually migrating to deeper water in winter. | | | The approximately 100 species of cuttlefish range between 1 to 35 inches and have somewhat flattened bodies bordered by a pair of narrow fins. |

| | Cuttlefish are animals of the order Sepiida, and are marine cephalopods, small relatives of squids and nautilus. | | | Cuttlefish eyes are among the most developed in the animal kingdom (if not the most developed). | | | All other animals of comparable or smaller size, including other cuttlefish, are instinctively seen as food. |

| | Fascinating cuttlefish |
| | The cuttlefish belongs to the mollusk class Cephalopoda—which means ‘head-footed’ derived from the Greek words kephale (head) and podes (feet)—ranging from 2.4 centimetres (around one inch) to 90 centimetres (three feet) in length (even bigger in the case of the giant Australian cuttlefish, which can reach the length of a small man). | | | Therefore in order to be able to operate at varying depths and water densities, cuttlefish need to be able to adjust their overall density so as to always remain ‘neutral’ in the water. | | | Socially, the giant Australian cuttlefish is a favorite with divers during breeding season, when the usually shy marine creature becomes outgoing, following divers through the water and often holding still for a scratch or pat. |

| | Until recently the cuttlefish harvest at the spawning grounds near Whyalla, South Australia, was limited. | | | Giant cuttlefish need a hard substrate on which to lay their eggs, so they gather on rocky reefs to breed. | | | Giant cuttlefish have sucker-lined appendages growing from the head, eight long and prehensile arms, and two retractile tentacles. |

| | The giant Australian cuttlefish is one of the largest cuttlefish species in the world, and can reach up to 60cm mantle length and weigh up to 5kg. | | | If they are feeding on a hard-shelled animal, they use their strong beaks to crack open the shell and their tooth lined tongue for rasping away at the food. | | | In recent years though, the increases in catch have resulted from the development of an export market for the species, calling for the need of management controls to be implemented. |

| | Hanlon and his team present behavioral and genetic data demonstrating that small male cuttlefish that dramatically alter their appearance to look like females are highly successful in tricking their often larger male competitors and fertilizing the female’s eggs. | | | While the sexual mimicry that the cuttlefish employ has been widely reported in nature, this is the first time fertilization success in an animal using this strategy has been documented. | | | The results, they say, are surprising since female cuttlefish of this species reject most mating attempts by any type of male 70 percent of the time. |
