Abstract

Class Cephalopoda includes cuttlefishes, squids, octopuses, and nautili, which are very important ecologically and commercially. Species of the first three groups are present in the Egyptian Mediterranean and Red Seas. They constitute a main component in the fisheries industry. In order to understand the biology and ecology of different species, their identification should be conducted properly to maximize the accuracy of any study. The present monograph is the first-in-kind for this group and has been prepared to demonstrate an identification key for the cuttlefish species in the Egyptian waters. Second and third monographs that cover squids and octopuses will be published in the near future. Eight cuttlefish species were recorded in the Egyptian waters. These are Sepia officinalis, S. elegans, S. dollfusi, S. pharaonis, S. elongate, S. parashadi, S. savignyi and Rossia macrosoma. The identification was done using morphometric characteristics, which were dissected, photographed, and drawn.
