Ecology of Sepiola intermedia
 
Main Ref. Jereb, P. and C.F.E. Roper (eds.), 2005
Remarks Found mainly on muddy bottoms between 60 and 200 m depth throughout its distributional range. A preference for shallower, coastal and sandy bottoms have been observed in the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian Seas where it can be very abundant and often associated with Turritella communis, Astropecten bispinosus,and Ophiura texturata. Spawning period possibly prolonged based on the observation of mature individuals present throughout the year. Adults have been collected in midwater during night purse seine fishing for blue fishes, evidence of its strong swimming ability. Collected by local small-scale fisheries throughout its distributional range (Ref. 1695).
