1. Class Cephalopoda the squids, octopus, nautilus, and cuttlefish
Richard E. Young, Michael Vecchione and Katharina M. Mangold
Class Cephalopoda the squids, octopus, nautilus, and cuttlefish

2. Class Cephalopoda shell is present, reduced, or lost
all are predacious with beak-like jaws
highly developed head and sensory organs (very intelligent)
closed circulatory system
swim via jet propulsion
foot is lobed and forms tentacles
direct development (no larvae)

3. Class Cephalopoda Reproduction
male transfers a spermatophore to female using a special pair of tentacles
female seals herself up in a den to lay eggs which she attaches to the top of the den
she cares for these eggs (in some species up to 6.5months)
after the eggs hatch she usually dies

4. Class Cephalopoda Nautilus:
have a chambered shell that aids in maintaining buoyancy
chambers are filled with gas
chambers
siphuncle
(cord of tissue connected to visceral mass)

5. Ammonoids

10. Class Cephalopoda Squids:
have a reduced, internal shell called the pen
Cuttlefish:
have a reduced, internal shell called a cuttlefish bone

11. Spirula sp.

12. Reduced Internal Shell

13. Cephalopods have elaborate mating displays including complex courtship displays.

14. Bioluminescence

17. Class Cephalopoda
Architeuthis sp. the largest giant squid found to date have been 18 meters in length
they live in the deep sea
sperm whales (~20m in length) are their major predators

19. Robust clubhook squid Moroteuthis robusta (Cephalopoda: Onychoteuthidae) in Puget Sound (Washington State, USA)

20. Robust clubhook squid Moroteuthis robusta

21. Jumbo Flying Squid Dosidicus gigas

22. Calamary

23. Class Cephalopoda Octopus: have lost the shell completely
most intelligent invertebrate

28. Giant Pacific Octopus Octopus dofleini
This species is one of the largest known octopods; the heaviest on record weighed nearly 600 pounds. It is fished commercially from Alaska to northern California. The Giant Pacific Octopus feeds on shrimps, crabs, scallops, abalones, clams, various fishes, and smaller octopods. It in turn is eaten by seals, sea otters, sharks, and other large predators.

31. Deadly venom and warning coloration
The Blue-ring Octopus Hapalochlaena maculosa
It kills prey by delivering a poison in the saliva. The poison is a neurotoxin (maculotoxin) that is strong enough to kill a human being.

32. The recently discovered mimic octopus (Octopus horridus) is, according to some sources, the coral reef’s great pretender. Some people have filmed, photographed and observed this octopus mimicing a great range of species including flatfish, seasnakes, jawfish, mantis shrimps, lionfish and others.

34. Argonauta nodosa The paper nautilus
The paper nautiluses, Argonauta sp., are not nautiluses at all, they are octopuses! The paper thin white calcareous 'shell' is actually an egg case made by females.

35. Argonauta nodosa The paper nautilus
Argoanuts are open-ocean cephalopods.
In addition to small crustaceans, they ingest jellyfish!

36. Argonauta nodosa The paper nautilus
The most sexually dimorphic cephalopods.
The females are considerably bigger the males. Females are thought to live longer and reproduce many times while the tiny males are thought to only reproduce once and have much shorter life spans.
During mating, one of the male's arms breaks off inside the mantle of the female. So both size and life span are radically different between the sexes.

37. Class Polyplacophora the “Chitons”

38. Class Polyplacophora have 8 rows of articulating plates
use radula to graze algae on substrate
mantle forms a girdle around plate edge
no veliger larvae

plates

41. Cryptochiton sp.
The Gumboot Chiton The gumboot chiton is one species of chiton that is a little different from the rest; it is the largest species of chiton in the world, growing up to 30 cm in length - and its eight plates are covered up by thick, leathery, brick-red flesh.

42. Cryptochiton sp.

43. Class Monoplacophora
In 1952 ten living specimens of Neopilina were dredged from the deep ocean trench off the Pacific cost of Costa Rica.
3 mm-3 cm in size.
Repetition of parts.

44. Class Aplacophora

45. Class Aplacophora Strange small worm like molluscs. Less than 5 mm.
Head is poorly developed and shell is absent.
Cuticle contains calcareous scales or spicules.

46. Class Scaphopoda the “tusk shells”

47. Class Scaphopoda
shell is modified into hollow tube that is open at both ends
the mantle wraps completely around the visceral mass
sessile and feed in sediment during reproduction produce trochophore larvae
located above sand
located below sand
feeding tentacles

48. Class Bivalvia (class Pelecypoda) the “bivalves”

49. Class Bivalvia clams, mussels, oysters, scallops
use gills for respiration and filter feeding
shell is modified into a bivalved shell connected by muscles and ligaments
no head (reduced sensory organs), no radula
foot can be modified for digging
dorsal
umbo

ridges show where mantle has laid down shell
ventral

50. Introduction to Bivalves
Mollusks in the class Bivalvia originated in, and many have remained in the world oceans.
Some have succeeded in colonizing fresh water habitats, and have radiated in species diversity.
Bivalves as adults are an important part of the benthic infauna with restricted movement on and through the substrate.
