Cuttlefish

Despite the word "fish" in their name, cuttlefish are not fish but mollusks. Like squid, octopus & nautiluses, they belong to the Cephalopoda class.

Cuttlefish have an internal shell, called the cuttlebone. They have large W shaped eyes, eight arms and two tentacles furnished with suckers, with which they secure their prey. They eat small mollusks including other cuttlefish, crabs, shrimp, and fish. They have a rather short lifespan, living only one to two years. They are totally absent from the Americas but present along the coasts of East and South Asia, Western Europe, the Mediterranean, and off the coasts of Africa and Australia

about the fishery

Sanford Ltd King Salmon

In the southern most inhabited island of New Zealand, Stewart Island, where the water is cool and clean all year round we farm raise Chinook or King Salmon. Our natural breeding program produces eggs that are grown out to young fry at our two hatcheries located on two of the largest and cleanest rivers that have their origins in the snow fed glaciers in the Southern Alps of New Zealand - the Clutha and Waitaki rivers.

King salmon flesh is an attractive dark pink to red colour. Its oil content is higher than any other salmon and it is a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids.
