Dietary Effect on the Proteome of the Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris) Paralarvae [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Nowadays, the common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) culture is hampered by massive mortalities occurring during early life-cycle stages (paralarvae). Despite the causes of the high paralarvae mortality are not yet well-defined and understood, the nutritional
