EuroSquid - English

Information about research on cephalopods at the Department of Zoology, University of Aberdeen and collaborating institutions, along with some general information about cephalopods and people working on them. There are also links to our "marine mammal" and "fisheries" pages and more general pages about Marine and Fisheries Science at the University of Aberdeen. "Eurosquid" was the nickname given to our EC-funded project on "Fishery Potential of North East Atlantic Squid Stocks" (1990-92). "Eurosquid" is a bit easier to remember, so the name has gained popular currency.

Cephalopods - English
URL: http://www.cyhaus.com/marine/cephalopod.htm

Because of the many movies in which cephalopods, especially octopi and squids, attack people, boats, etc., there is a misconception that they are aggressive and dumb creatures. In fact, there are only two species of octopi that are aggressive (they are located in Austrailia), and they are highly intelligent. They are probably the most intelligent of all the invertebrates.

Class Cephalopoda - English
URL: http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/mollusca/cephalopoda.html

This very diverse group includes octopus, squid, nautilus, and cuttlefish. A shell is sometimes present. If present, it is divided into chambers, and the animal occupies the last-formed chamber, with a filament of tissue extending to the oldest chamber. The foot of cephalopods, as their name suggests, lies close to the head. It is modified to form a funnel, through which water is expelled from the mantle cavity. This sort of jet propulsion results in very fast locomotion in some species. Around their mouths, cephalopods have a ring of tentacles that bear powerful suckers in some species. The tentacles are used to search out and grasp food.
