Abstract
We study fibrations by elliptic curves and K3 surfaces of double octic Calabi–Yau threefolds determined by singular lines and points of multiplicity at least 4 of the defining octic arrangement. As a consequence we conclude that every double octic admits many elliptic and K3 fibrations. We apply descriptions of some K3 fibrations to construct a birational map between elements of two families of double octics.
