cuttlefish

Divers are sharing encounters with a striking cuttlefish in the waters around the Gili Islands off Lombok, Indonesia. The post highlights the area's popularity as a scuba destination, with tags pointing to dive sites around Gili Trawangan and Gili Air, and interest from visiting divers, including a Singapore-based dive community.

Researchers have produced the first transgenic cuttlefish, a landmark in marine biology achieved after six years of work and roughly 4,000 failed embryos. The result opens new possibilities for studying cephalopod genetics and development, as cuttlefish have long resisted genetic modification techniques that work in other animals.
