Continuous Inking Affects the Biological and Biochemical Responses of Cuttlefish Sepia pharaonis
Several marine mollusks, including cephalopods (cuttlefish, squid, and octopus) and gastropods (e.g., sea hares), can release a colored ink secretion when chased by predators or stimulated. Ink release is part of a defensive response, but the threshold for the biochemical responses caused by stimula...
