補充:
常見的海鮮shrimp,fish,squid不用複數型
也就是說 one shimp, two shrimp, three shrimp (都不加s)
one fish, two fish, three fish
而mussel,clam則有複數型
one mussel, two mussels, three mussels

章魚
octopus (單數)
octopi (複數,多用於口語)
one octopus, two octopi, three octopi

Though many people say "octopi", it's wrong. It's not a Latin word:
"octopus" is Greek ("octo" = "eight", pus" = "foot"). The Greek plural of
"pus" is "podes", therefore the plural of "octopus" should be "octopodes".

However, in English, the plural of "octopus" is "octopuses".
