How long do smaller octopuses and inshore squids usually live?

Smaller inshore species of octopuses and squids typically have short life spans, generally living no more than one year, though some may exceptionally live for two or three years.1

Observational data suggest that for many of these smaller cephalopods, the males often die following mating, while females typically die after their first major spawning event. Research on specific species, such as the octopus Octopus joubini and the loliginid squid Sepioteuthis sepioidea, has shown that these animals can reach sexual maturity and full growth within five months when raised in controlled environments.1
