CUTTLEFISH UPDATE


SARDI scientists surveyed the Giant Australian Cuttlefish aggregation in northern Spencer Gulf last year. The 2011 survey concluded that abundance was low, mean size of males and females was low and, at these levels, recruitment success may be compromised. The State Government has received Commonwealth assistance to monitor the breeding and habitat of Giant Cuttlefish in Upper Spencer Gulf over the next two years through a SARDI project.
