Creator Sundaram, Sujit
Khan, Mohammad Zafar
 
Subject Cephalopods
 
Description Cephalopods have good export demand,
therefore it is the second most sought
commodity next to prawns by trawl operators.
Octopus, popularly known as “devil fish” were earlier
discarded as it did not fetch any price, but in recent
years, these are being exploited in commercial
quantities. The major species of octopus which
contributed to the world fishery, come under the
genera Octopus, Cistopus and Eledone.
