Population substructure of the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis (Mollusca: Cephalopoda), as investigated by genetic variation of microsatellite loci, has been reported to be significantly extensive around the Iberian Peninsula with F(ST)=0.061 [Pérez-Losada, M., Guerra, A., Carvalho, G.R., Sanjuan, A., Shaw, P.W., 2002. Extensive population subdivision of the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis (Mollusca:...

This paper provides insight into the size composition and reproductive aspects of small striped cuttlefish Sepia prabahari distributed exclusively in Gulf Mannar (GoM) Biosphere Reserve, Indian Ocean which contributes 11% to cephalopod catch this region. The fishery varied between 4.6 14.6 cm dorsal mantle length (DML) group 8.1 10 dominated (45%). DML-weight relationship for male, female poole...
