If you are interested in the fascinating biology and behaviour of cuttlefish, squid, nautilus and octopus come to this presentation.
Dr Karina Hall, a research scientist or the NSW Department of Primary Industries, will talk about these cephalopods which are found in NSW coastal waters and help SURG divers interpret the species and their behaviours that they may encounter during their dives.
Dr Hall is based in Coffs Harbour at the National Marine Science Centre and is responsible for stock assessments of 26 key species and species groups harvested by commercial and recreational fisheries in NSW waters. Included among those are the large range of cephalopods, which are Karina’s particular passion and specialty.
