Abstract
Cuttlefish are renowned for rapid growth rates and complex behaviours, and many species are important in worldwide fisheries. However, fundamental life-history information for many cuttlefishes remains poorly known. This study explored the reproductive biology, life span and growth of S. opipara, S. plangon and S. rozella, and the reproductive behaviour of S. plangon. Overall, this research shows interesting contrasts to existing life-history patterns in cephalopods and provides the first information for the management of these commercially important species.
