Sepietta oweniana
(d'Orbigny, 1841)
Penny Martin I think it is sepiola atlantica ?? seen in Orkney this morning.
Penny Martin Or is it just a "sepia" hatchling ??? can anyone advise please?
Cynthia D. Trowbridge not a clue...we do not have cuttlefish on our coast... I do admire it though :-)
David Wilson I don't think this is a Sepia officinalis hatchling as the ones I have seen resemble miniature adults, I caught a little one like this in a shrimp net in the Salcombe estuary many years ago. At the time I thought it was Sepiola atlantica.
