Description
Octopuses, Squid & Cuttlefish: Seafood for Today and for the Future
Cephalopods have been fascinating humans for centuries. These intelligent creatures evolved hundreds of millions of years ago and are related to molluscs such as mussels and snails.
Despite their soft bodies, cephalopods are formidable predators with remarkable physical characteristics, including powerful arms that can exert a force equal to hundreds of times their own body weight. They also have unique abilities, such as changing the colour of their skin in a flash and 'tasting' using the suckers on their arms.
