Ecosystem, Molluscs, Nutritional Values Among them a huge number of our children have been suffering from mal-nutritional diseases. They need protein feed and molluscs meat especially INTRODUCTION cephalopods meat is a good source of protein. India harvested 1.73 lakh tones of cephalopods, 0.04 lakh The word ‘Mollusca’ is a Latin word which means tones of bivalves and 0.02 tones of gastropods from ‘soft’. Aristotle is the father of the word ‘Mollusca’. Indian marine resources like Arabian sea, Bay of Molluscs are benthic organisms that live on or in, the Bengal and Indian Ocean in the year 2013-2014. The bottom of the water body with greater than 1.0 mm in people of southern states of India consume molluscs size.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences. -
Octopus Consciousness: the Role of Perceptual Richness
Review Octopus Consciousness: The Role of Perceptual Richness Jennifer Mather Department of Psychology, University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge, AB T1K 3M4, Canada; [email protected] Abstract: It is always difficult to even advance possible dimensions of consciousness, but Birch et al., 2020 have suggested four possible dimensions and this review discusses the first, perceptual richness, with relation to octopuses. They advance acuity, bandwidth, and categorization power as possible components. It is first necessary to realize that sensory richness does not automatically lead to perceptual richness and this capacity may not be accessed by consciousness. Octopuses do not discriminate light wavelength frequency (color) but rather its plane of polarization, a dimension that we do not understand. Their eyes are laterally placed on the head, leading to monocular vision and head movements that give a sequential rather than simultaneous view of items, possibly consciously planned. Details of control of the rich sensorimotor system of the arms, with 3/5 of the neurons of the nervous system, may normally not be accessed to the brain and thus to consciousness. The chromatophore-based skin appearance system is likely open loop, and not available to the octopus’ vision. Conversely, in a laboratory situation that is not ecologically valid for the octopus, learning about shapes and extents of visual figures was extensive and flexible, likely consciously planned. Similarly, octopuses’ local place in and navigation around space can be guided by light polarization plane and visual landmark location and is learned and monitored. The complex array of chemical cues delivered by water and on surfaces does not fit neatly into the components above and has barely been tested but might easily be described as perceptually rich. -
THE NAUTILUS [Vol
2 2 THE NAUTILUS [Vol. 69 (1) separated from each other by five centimeters. The snail was expanded with its head oriented away from the clam. When placed on the sand, the clam showed no activity during the next 30 minutes after which observations were discontinued. All but the lower (anterior) end of the body of the clam was covered by an envelope of slime secreted by the foot of the snail. It seems clear that P. duplicatus capturesEnsis directus by approaching it below the surface of the substratum and by ir ritating the lower portion so that it retreats upward. The snail then coats the razor clam with an envelope of slime which ap pears to have anesthetic properties. Successful capture proba bly depends on the ability of the snail to maintain contact with its prey until anesthesia takes place. ON THE OCCURRENCE OF THE NUDIBRANCH ALDERIA MODESTA (LOVÉN, 1844) ON THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIAN COAST By CADET HAND and JOAN STEINBERG Department of Zoology, University of California, Berkeley Alderia modesta (Loven, 1844) has long been known from the coasts of northern Europe. It has been recorded from as far north as the Trondheim Fjord in Norway (Norman, 1893), south to Skibbereen in Ireland (Allman, 1845) and on the French coast (Gollien, 1929). Therefore, it has been of con siderable interest to us to find well-established populations of an Alderia in two localities on the central Californian coast. Through the kindness of Monsieur G.

Is Sepiella Inermis ‘Spineless’?

Centre for PG Studies (Autonomous), Lawspet Campus, Pondicherry University, Puducherry-605 008, India. *Corresponding Author: Visweswaran B Abstract: Many a report seemed to project at a noble notion of having identified some novel and bioactive compounds claimed to have been found from Sepiella inermis; but lagged to log their novelty scarcely defined due to certain technical blunders they seem to have coldly committed in such valuable pieces of aboriginal research works, reported to have sophistically been accomplished but unnoticed with considerable lack of significant finesse. They have dealt with finer biochemicals already been reported to have been available from S.inermis; yet, to one’s dismay, have failed to maintain certain conventional means meant for original research. This quality review discusses about the illogical math rooting toward and logical aftermath branching from especially certain spectral reports.

Reproductive Behavior of the Japanese Spineless Cuttlefish Sepiella Japonica
VENUS 65 (3): 221-228, 2006 Reproductive Behavior of the Japanese Spineless Cuttlefish Sepiella japonica Toshifumi Wada1*, Takeshi Takegaki1, Tohru Mori2 and Yutaka Natsukari1 1Graduate School of Science and Technology, Nagasaki University, 1-14 Bunkyo-machi, Nagasaki 852-8521, Japan 2Marine World Uminonakamichi, 18-28 Saitozaki, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka 811-0321, Japan Abstract: The reproductive behavior of the Japanese spineless cuttlefish Sepiella japonica was observed in a tank. The males competed for females before egg-laying and then formed pairs with females. The male then initiated mating by pouncing on the female head, and maintained the male superior head-to-head position during the mating. Before ejaculation, the male moved his right (non-hectocotylized) arm IV under the ventral portion of the female buccal membrane, resulting in the dropping of parts of spermatangia placed there during previous matings. After the sperm removal behavior, the male held spermatophores ejected through his funnel with the base of hectocotylized left arm IV and transferred them to the female buccal area. The spermatophore transfer occurred only once during each mating. The female laid an egg capsule at average intervals of 1.5 min and produced from 36 to more than 408 egg capsules in succession during a single egg-laying bout. Our results also suggested one female produced nearly 200 fertilized eggs without additional mating, implying that the female have potential capacity to store and use active sperm properly. The male continued to guard the spawning female after mating (range=41.8-430.1 min), and repeated matings occurred at an average interval of 70.8 min during the mate guarding.
