Sepia aureomaculata

Sepia aureomaculata is a species of cuttlefish native to the northwestern Pacific Ocean, specifically the Kii Channel, Tosa Bay, Hyuga-Nada, and the East China Sea. It lives at a depth of between 190 and 350 m.[1]

S. aureomaculata grows to a mantle length of 160 mm.[1]

The type specimen was collected in Tosa Bay, Japan and is deposited at the National Science Museum of Japan in Tokyo.[2] Marine biota in Tosa Bay have been found to have relatively high concentrations of PCBs, DDT and a variety of organochlorine chemical pesticides, compared to similar biota in the Sulu Sea.[citation needed]
