The survey data of cephalopods was obtained in the beam trawl survey from 2007 to 2021. The survey was conducted by the R/V "Ocean Researcher III" and the R/V "New Ocean Researcher III". All the samples were collected by the beam trawl, with the width 6 m, body length 8 m, body mesh 4.5 cm, and cod end mesh 2.5 cm, and each trawling was conducted at 2 knots/hr for 30 minutes. Most of the sampling sites were located along the western coast of Taiwan, while some sites were located in the offshore zones (e.g., Penghu Channel, Changyun Rise).
