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.” Conference Organising Committee Dr Natalie Moltschaniwskyj, University of Tasmania Dr Gretta Pecl, University of Tasmania Dr George Jackson, University of Tasmania Dr Jayson Semmens, University of Tasmania Conference Secretariat Andrea Goodwin Conference Design Pty Ltd PO Box 342 Sandy Bay Tasmania 7006 Australia w: www.cdesign.com.au p: 03 6224 3773 f: 03 6224 3774
