DescriptionSepia común (Sepia officinalis), Parque natural de la Arrábida, Portugal, 2020-07-21, DD 62.jpg
English: Common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis), Arrábida National Park, Portugal. The common cuttlefish is one of the largest and best-known cuttlefish species. They are a migratory species that spend the summer and spring inshore for spawning and then move to depths of 100 to 200m during autumn and winter. They only have a lifespan of 1–2 years and have many predators including sharks, dolphins, seals, fish, and cephalopods which includes other cuttlefish. During the day, most cuttlefish can be found buried below the substrate and fairly inactive. At night however, they are actively searching for prey and can ambush them from under the substrate. Cuttlefish are carnivorous and eat a variety of organisms including crustaceans (crabs and shrimp), small fish, molluscs (clams and snails), and sometimes other cuttlefish.
Español: Sepia común (Sepia officinalis), Parque natural de la Arrábida, Portugal. La sepia común es una de las especies de sepia más grandes y conocidas. Son una especie migratoria que pasa el verano y la primavera cerca de la costa para desovar y luego se mueven a profundidades de 100 a 200 m durante el otoño y el invierno. Solo tienen una vida útil de 1 a 2 años y tienen muchos depredadores, incluidos tiburones, delfines, focas, peces y cefalópodos, entre los que se incluyen otras sepias. Durante el día, la mayoría de las sepias se pueden encontrar enterradas debajo del sustrato y bastante inactivas. Sin embargo, por la noche, están buscando presas activamente y pueden tenderles una emboscada desde debajo del sustrato. Las sepias son carnívoras y comen una variedad de organismos, incluidos crustáceos (cangrejos y camarones), peces pequeños, moluscos (almejas y caracoles) y, a veces, otras sepias.
