The Cephalopod International Advisory Council (CIAC) is an international non-profit

organisation dedicated to promoting cephalopod science and coordinating discussion

and debate on critical issues relating to fisheries, management and conservation around

the world. CIAC is the only broadly representative international professional body of

squid, octopus and cuttlefish scientists.



The Symposium was held at the Hotel Grand Chancellor in Hobart, Tasmania in

February 2006. The theme was “Cephalopod lifecycles: biology, conservation and

management.”
