Cuttlefish can display as many as 12 to 14 patterns, [45] 13 of which have been categorized as seven "acute" (relatively brief) and six "chronic" (long-lasting) patterns. [53] although other researchers suggest the patterns occur on a continuum. [52]
The cuttlebone of a cuttlefish. This is the largest hard part of a cuttlefish, maintaining the rigidity of its body.. The common cuttlefish is one of the largest species of cuttlefish with a mantle length reaching up to 45 cm and a mass of 4 kg on a presumed male, although this is for an exceptional specimen in temperate waters; specimens in subtropical waters rarely surpass a mantle length of ...

Sepia esculenta, the golden cuttlefish, is a cuttlefish ranging from the Russian seas to the Philippines and throughout the western Pacific. [1] This species of cuttlefish is a nektobenthic organism living with a range of depths between 10m-150m(33 ft-492 ft) [2] but is primarily found within the shallow, coastal waters from japan to the Philippines at a depth between 10m-100m.

Sepia bertheloti is fished for by trawling off the Canary Islands and is commonly captured off the western Endeavour Bank. [1] Catches are often mixed with Sepia hierredda and separate data is difficult to get, although data from Spanish trawlers off Western Sahara indicate that this species makes up 11% of the cuttlefish catch and the remaining 89% is S. hieradda.
