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. The approximately 100 species of cuttlefish
range between 1 to 35 inches and have somewhat flattened bodies bordered
by a pair of narrow fins. All species have eight arms and two longer
tentacles that are used in capturing prey and can be withdrawn into two
pouches. Suction disks are located on the arms and on expanded pads at the
tips of the tentacles.
Cuttlefish inhabit shallow tropical or temperate coastal waters, usually migrating to deeper water in winter. The common cuttlefish breeds during spring and summer, producing about 100 to 300 eggs. Sepia species feed mainly on crustaceans, small fishes, and each other. Their main enemies are large aquatic animals. 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."
