Cephalopod International Advisory Council - CIAC
Founded in 1983, the aims of CIAC are to stimulate, accelerate and influence the direction of cephalopod research, to provide help and advice on aspects of cephalopod biology, including those relevant to the management of the increasingly important cephalopod fisheries, and to spread information on past and current research.

Class Cephalopoda
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. [eng] |

Cuttlefish: the Sentient Cephalopods
South of the city of Singapore is an island called Sentosa. Sentosa has been converted into a tourist haven, and you can reach it by cable car. The most interesting attraction there, for us, was the aquarium. [eng] |

Cephalopods
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.

EuroSquid
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. [eng] |

CephBase
CephBase is a www dynamic html database-driven web page on cephalopods (octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus). Complete classification of the ~700 species, synonymies, common names, predator and prey data, distribution data (including real-time plots), links to pictures are included. This is also the site of the Directory of Cephalopod Workers. [eng] |

Live Cephalopod Resources
Live healthy cephalopods are available year-round to both on-site visiting users as well as workers requiring live healthy animals at their home facility. Please understand that the NRCC is first and foremost a university based research facility supported by National and State agencies to facilitate research and education efforts using Cephalopod Molluscs.
