The present article provides an overview of cuttlefish culture, its current state of art, and
future trends. Present cuttlefish culture related research, recently developed technologies …

Many cephalopod species grow throughout their lifetime. Critically, this means that they lack
an asymptotic phase of growth, when, for a substantial part of the lifetime, growth slows and …

Reproductive and energy allocation analyses were performed on 1418 common octopus
(Octopus vulgaris) from the Galician creel fishery (NE Atlantic) between May 2000 and …

When using cephalopods as experimental animals, a number of factors, including morality,
quality of information derived from experiments, and public perception, drives the motivation …

Cephalopods are fast-growing animals, active swimmers and top predators, which require
substantial amounts of food. As such, they show high metabolic rates dependent on a …

Abstract Changes in the protein, lipid, glycogen, cholesterol and energy contents, total
amino acid and fatty acid profiles of Octopus vulgaris and O. defilippi tissues (gonad …

Estimating the metabolic rate of animals in nature is central to understanding the
physiological, behavioural and evolutionary ecology of animals. Doubly labelled water and …

In the present study, the growth, feed efficiency and condition of Octopus vulgaris (0.58 to
1.02 kg; 17 to 21° C) fed two formulated moist diets based on fish and prawn mixed with …

The relationship between reproduction and condition was studied in a 15 mo sample of 919
maturing, mature and post-spawning female Octopus mimus (388 to 3714 g) caught in …

Lipid content, lipid class and fatty acid composition of four Southern Ocean cephalopod
species–the myopsid Sepioteuthis australis and three oegopsids, Gonatus antarcticus …
