Ep 24 🫧🦑 Giant cuttlefish! This episode’s for you if you’re a cephalopod head , if you’re curious how octopus or cuttlefish can change textures or colours, and if you want to know what it’ll take to list the world’s largest aggregation as a species of concern. We talk about the disappearance of the Spencer Gulf giant cuttlefish aggregation this year, and some of the solutions and interventions that have been tested to mitigate the impacts of the algal bloom in South Australia.
