Reid iving cephalopods include nautiluses, bobtail and bottle squids, pygmy cuttlefishes, cuttlefishes, Lsquids, and octopuses. While they may not be as diverse a group as other molluscs or as the bony fishes in terms of number of species (about 600 cephalopod species described worldwide), they are very abundant and some reach large sizes. Hence they are of considerable ecological and commercial fisheries importance globally and in the Western Central Pacific. Remarks on MajorREMARKS Groups of CommercialON MAJOR Importance GROUPS OF COMMERCIAL IMPORTANCE Nautiluses (Family Nautilidae) Nautiluses are the only living cephalopods with an external shell throughout their life cycle. This shell is divided into chambers by a large number of septae and provides buoyancy to the animal. The animal is housed in the newest chamber. A muscular hood on the dorsal side helps close the aperture when the animal is withdrawn into the shell. Nautiluses have primitive eyes filled with seawater and without lenses. They have arms that are whip-like tentacles arranged in a double crown surrounding the mouth. Although they have no suckers on these arms, mucus associated with them is adherent. Nautiluses are restricted to deeper continental shelf and slope waters of the Indo-West Pacific and are caught by artisanal fishers using baited traps set on the bottom. The flesh is used for food and the shell for the souvenir trade. Specimens are also caught for live export for use in home aquaria and for research purposes.

Leur présence dès le Jurassique moyen se trouve attestée par une vingtaine de spécimens du Callovien inférieur de la Voulte-sur-Rhône (Ardèche), qui en possèdent les caractères essentiels : huit bras sessiles reliés par un velum et armés d’une rangée de ventouses encadrées de cirres, une paire de tentacules brachiaux, des yeux latéraux bien développés, un organe de soutien interne (gladius) non calcifié, une paire de nageoires supéro-postérieures, deux organes lumineux postéro-dorsaux, pas de poche à encre. Ces spécimens, pour lesquels sont ici proposés les nouveaux genre et espèce Vampyronassa rhodanica, différent cependant des vampyromorphes actuels par leurs deux premiers bras sessiles dorsaux nettement plus longs que les autres, par le plus grand développement de leur entonnoir et par leur tronc fuselé, plus allongé. La présence d’un vampyromorphe déjà bien caractérisé au Jurassique moyen laisse supposer pour cet ordre de céphalopodes une origine beaucoup plus ancienne encore.

Barros Mote Marine Laboratory Center for Marine Mammal and Sea Turtle Research 1600 Ken Thompson Parkway Sarasota, FL 34236-1096 (941) 388-4441 x 443 (941) 388-4317 FAX May 2003 Mote Marine Laboratory Technical Report Number 895 ABSTRACT Sperm whales are common inhabitants of the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. To date, no information is available on the diet of sperm whales in the Gulf. This study sheds light into the feeding habits ofthese whales by examining data collected from free-ranging and stranded animals. Prey species included a minimum of 13 species within 10 families of cephalopods, the only prey type observed. The most important prey was Histioteuthis, a midwater squid important in the diet of sperm whales worldwide. Most species of cephalopods consumed by Gulf sperm whales are meso to bathypelagic in distribution, being found in surface to waters 2,500 deep. Some of these prey are also vertical migrators. The diet of Gulf sperm whales does not include species targeted by the commercial fisheries. INTRODUCTION Until fairly recently, little was known about the species of whales and dolphins (cetaceans) inhabiting the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Most of the information available came from opportunistic sightings and occasional strandings. In the early 1990' s large-scale dedicated surveys were initiated to study the distribution and abundance of marine mammals in the deep Gulf.

Vertical distribution and migration patterns (both diel and ontogenic) are not known for the majority of deep-water cephalopods. These varying patterns are of interest as they have the potential to contribute to the movement of large amounts of nutrients and contaminants through the water column during diel migrations. This can be of particular importance if the migration traverses a discrete layer with particular properties, as happened with the deep-water oil plume located between 1000 and 1400 m during the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill. Two recent studies focusing on the deep-water column of the GOM [2011 Offshore Nekton Sampling and Edited by: Jose Angel Alvarez Perez, Analysis Program (ONSAP) and 2015–2018 Deep Pelagic Nekton Dynamics of the Gulf Universidade do Vale do Itajaí, Brazil of Mexico (DEEPEND)] program, produced a combined dataset of over 12,500 midwater Reviewed by: cephalopod records for the northern GOM region.
