Sepia braggi[edit]
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sepia braggi, the slender cuttlefish, is a species of cuttlefish native to the Indo-Pacific Ocean. It has been found in coastal waters of southern Australia.[3] Sepia braggi is one of three species of cuttlefish known to inhabit Spencer Gulf in South Australia. Specimens are occasionally caught there by prawn trawlers. Trawl by-catch specimen sizes range from 27 to 57 mm and have been collected during trawls in the mid and southern gulf waters. Females of the species are larger than males and they grow to a mantle length of 80 mm and 49 mm, respectively.[3] Sepia braggi is distinguised by the dark purple bands that run along the length of each arm of the cuttlefish.
This species was first collected in South Australia by its namesake, William Lawrence Bragg, a pioneer in X-ray crystallography. [4]Sepia braggi was then described by Sir Joseph Cooke Verco in 1907.[5]
Sepia braggi is part of the the subgenus Doratosepion which belongs to 41 species of cuttlefish in total.[6]
