A Guide to Squid, Cuttlefish & Octopuses

By Mark Norman & Amanda Reid

Published by CSIRO in conjunction with Gould League

The Australasian region is home to the greatest diversity of cephalopods (squid, cuttlefish, octopuses) in the world. Yet we know very little about these fascinating marine animals.

This guide provides details on more than 60 species from the Giant Squid to the deadly Blue-ringed Octopus. Their secret lives are revealed in a highly readable for with outstanding colour images and informative text.

For each species there is a distribution map, colour photographs, identification notes and lifestyle information.

Naturalists, divers, reef-walkers and anglers will find the book authoritative and informative. Beachcombers will appreciate the comprehensive section illustrating cuttlebones.
