	Cuttlefish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cuttlefish have an internal shell, large eyes, and eight arms and two tentacles furnished with denticulated suckers, by means of which they secure their prey.
		Cuttlefish possess an internal structure called the cuttlebone, which is composed of calcium carbonate and is porous, to provide the cuttlefish with buoyancy.
		The blood of a cuttlefish is an unusual shade of green-blue because it uses the copper-containing protein hemocyanin to carry oxygen instead of the red iron-containing protein hemoglobin that is found in mammals.

	Stuffed Cuttlefish From Stuffed Ark
		Cuttlefish - Any of several marine cephalopods of the order Sepioidea, related to the octopus and squid and characterized by a thick, internal, calcified shell called the cuttlebone.
		Cuttlefish inhabit shallow tropical or temperate coastal waters, usually migrating to deeper water in winter.
		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 Basics
		The cuttlefish is an ambush predator and a master of disguise.
		For the cuttlefish this ink is a decoy, a means of escape from predators.
		The eggs of cuttlefish are laid in clumps together and are often coated in ink from the mother; this serves as camouflage for the eggs.

	AMAZING CUTTLEFISH - Cephalopods with Natural Camouflage and Sepia Ink (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Cuttlefish are soft-bodied marine cephalopods, with a large head ringed by tentacles and an internal cuttlebone.
		Cuttlefish are soft-bodied marine animals that can change both the colour and texture of their skin rapidly to provide natural camouflage.
		Cuttlefish belong to the Class Cephalopoda and like all cephalopods, they have a large head that is ringed by tentacles.

	Cuttlefish
		Cuttlefish normally swim by means of narrow fins that surround the body.Along with squid and octopus, cuttlefish propel themselves through the water at great speed by jetting water from the mantle cavity through a siphon.
		Cuttlefish have some economic importance, not only for their flesh, which is eaten in many countries, but also for the “bone” of their internal shell and for the ink they secrete to cloud the water and elude their enemies.
		The dried ink sacs of the animal yield the brown pigment sepia, and the dried, powdered cuttlebone is used in polishing and in other industrial processes, as well as a source of calcium and salts for captive birds and other animals.

	Diving with Cuttlefish
		Common throughout the Indo-Pacific region, Europe, Africa and beyond, the cuttlefish is a mollusc from the class of cephalopods, a cousin of the octopus and not a fish at all.
		The cuttlefish is so called because they have a bone in the middle of their bodies, known as a cuttlebone, filled with gas, which is used as a buoyancy control device.
		Generally speaking cuttlefish are not high on the lists of endangered species and there is not a great deal of data on their population numbers.

		However, their results showed that cuttlefish were able to detect contrast differences of at least 15%, which Mäthger and her colleagues suspect might be a critical factor in uncovering what determines camouflage patterning in cuttlefish.
		Cuttlefish are cephalopods, relatives of octopuses and squid, and are found in all marine habitats worldwide; they are particularly abundant around coral reefs and temperate rock reefs in which the visual habitat is richly varied.
		This series of images shows that cuttlefish exhibit the same disruptive pattern when they sit on a high contrast fl and white or fl and green checkerboard, but when on a low contrast (to their eyes) grey and green background, their body pattern remains uniform, suggesting that they can't tell the two shades apart.

	Polarized signaling underwater and the P-vision of the octopus
		The European Cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) is a relative of the squid with a calcified internal shell.
		In particular, the cuttlefish has pink "iridophore" arm stripes down the middle of the six central arms, an "eye ring" around the eyes and a "head bar" at the top of the front of the head.
		The polarization pattern is more intense when the cuttlefish cruise or hover in the water and when they are alert at the bottom even if not moving (the researchers determined alertness by the tracking of the eyes).

		Cuttlefish arrived at Pearl Harbor 16 June 1939 and was based there on patrol duty, as well as joining in battle problems and exercises in the Hawaiian area.

	Advanced Aquarist's Online Magazine - Feature Article: Keeping and Breeding the dwarf cuttlefish Sepia bandensis
		The question of the toxicity of cuttlefish ink is still up in the air, although it is clear that some cephalopod ink is indeed toxic, but again, the major reason the ink is thought to be toxic is because it coats their gills, causing them to suffocate.
		Cuttlefish eyesight tends to go as they reach senescence - the eyes cloud over and they find it hard to see their prey, and these are the symptoms that people have reported keeping cuttles under high intensity lighting.
		Cuttlefish breed by coupling head to head, and the male packet of sperm called a spermatophore, is deposited into a pouch in the female's mantle (Photo 16) The mating can last from 10 seconds to many minutes, and in some species, males will use their funnel to flush other male's sperm out the females pouch.

	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).
		The cuttlefish has a skin comprising three layers of chromatophores (colour pigment cells)—a bright yellow layer near the surface, under which is an orange-red layer and finally a dark base.
		The cuttlefish propels itself using a series of spurts, drawing water into a compression chamber which it squeezes to jet the water out a funnel under the head.

		When the young cuttlefish is ready to come out, it finds the thinnest area of the egg, which is slightly stronger than a water balloon and pushes it's way out.
		Immediately upon hatching the cuttlefish has all the traits of an adult and is able to feed and fend for itself.
		Cuttlefish tend to be territorial so once you spot one returning to the same dive site, finding them again is usually easy.

		While most of us know cuttlefish as the little surfboard-shaped bones we found at the beach and took home for the budgie - few of us realize the svengali-like talents of that bone's original owner.
		But another male cuttlefish can still access the female by adopting female colouration along the side of its body facing the defending male as it passes by.
		Inside the shell the tiny cuttlefish appears to be fully-formed and attached to a yoke.

		A male cuttlefish has distinct white lines around the edge of its body, and rippling stripes along the body while guarding a female from insemination by other males.
		Cuttlefish are relatives of the squid and octopus that live along Australia's southern coast.
		Preservation tactics - especially regarding the size and location of a marine reserve to protect the cuttlefish - will be based on whether or not the populations are genetically and ecologically isolated.

	CUTTLEFISH poetry and poetics
		Meanwhile, over on his blog Ron Silliman (June 30th post) quotes what is evidently a moving tribute to Cuttlefish by one Michael Basinski, recently appointed curator of the poetry collection at University at Buffalo State Universities.
		Cuttlefish are indebted to Silliman for giving his own name to SOS, the "School of Silliness".
		Cuttlefish also use colour to signal emotions such as anger, fear and sexual arousal.They will flush deep red when agitated and then change to a mottled sand colour as natural camouflage so they can disappear into the surroundings.

		Sometimes they use a bit of orange behind their eyes, or grey in lines along their arms) to hide, or to send signals to other cuttlefish or to predators.
		They spend a lot of time on the bottom, and usually only swim when they are hungry (to catch prey), or when they meet another cuttlefish (they will fight or mate).
