Fish, Crustaceans & Cephalopods

Beche De Mer
(Sea Cucumber)

Other common names include Gould's Squid, Aeroplane Squid, Aero Squid, Seine boat Squid and Torpedo Squid.

Arrow squid are distributed through southern half of Australia.   They inhabit waters from estuaries to ocean depths of about 500 metres, although they have been caught in depths as great as 825 metres in the Great Australian Bight.  They are most abundant over the continental shelf from 50m to 200m.

They are schooling animals that tend to aggregate near the sea bed during the day and disperse throughout the water column at night.  Catch rates usually decrease at the surface during the full moon period.

Spawning occurs in all months.  They are relatively short lived, probably reaching a maximum age of only 12 months.

Arrow squid feed mainly at night.  They eat pelagic crustaceans, fish and squid.  Cannibalism is common in larger arrow squid but their prey is normally less than half the size of the predator.

Arrow squid are eaten by a variety of fish including school shark, gummy shark, whiskery shark and john dory.

Squid are specialists in the open sea. Slick and speedy and with torpedo-shaped bodies, squid rocket through the water by squirting water through their siphons. Fins along their sides act like the wings of jets, steadying them as they go.

Squid have eight arms, but they also have two longer appendages, called tentacles, specialized for capturing prey in the open ocean.
