Cephalopod is one of the most important mollusks which can be found almost in all the sea waters, especially in the Pacific, the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans. The cephalopod whose 90% is edible has a high economic value. It is one of the most important protein sources in the future.

    The cephalopod plays an important role in the marine ecosystem. In the marine food link, it falls a prey to the large-bodied fishes and mammals, and it is also a predator to small animals, so it lives at the middle level of “nutrition pyramid”. Any minute variation of its stock would directly or indirectly affect the animal stocks at every trophic level.
