Patagonian red octopus, Enteroctopus megalocyathus, an interesting species for Chilean aquaculture diversification, requires the improving of their experimental technology to obtain early juveniles. The first objective of the study was to enhance aspects of feeding and temperature management in broodstock, egg incubation, paralarvae rearing, and early ...

The scaling of metabolic rates with body mass is one of the best known and most studied characteristics of aquatic animals. Herein, we studied how size is related to oxygen consumption, ammonia excretion, and ingestion rates in tropical (Octopus maya) and cold-water (Enteroctopus megalocyathus) cephalopod species in an attempt to understand how size ...

Changes in the foraging strategy of female South American sea lions (Carnivora: Pinnipedia) after parturition. [PDF]
This study tests the hypothesis that female South American sea lions shift from off-shore, pelagic prey to coastal, benthic prey after parturition in order to reduce the foraging trip duration and hence the time pups remain unattended on the beach during

Embryonic development, hatching time and newborn juveniles of Octopus tehuelchus under two culture temperatures [PDF]
The development of cephalopods early life stages is strongly influenced by environmental variables, especially temperature. Octopus tehuelchus (d'Orbigny, 1834) is an Atlantic Patagonian fishery resource currently being studied as a new species for ...

Eye Lens Structure of the OctopusEnteroctopus megalocyathus: Evidence of Growth [PDF]
ABSTRACT The need for age determination for the proper management of octopus fisheries has directed research attention to the few hard structures in the octopod's soft body, beak, statoliths, and the vestigial shell. So far, none of these structures have proved reliable or practical for the purpose.

The diet of adult and chick rock shags (Phalacrocorax magellanicus) inferred from combined pellet and stable isotope analyses [PDF]
The current information about the diet composition of the rock shag (Phalacrocorax magellanicus) in the SW Atlantic coast comes mainly from conventional pellet or stomach content analysis from a few locations situated in northern Patagonia (Chubut ...

Evaluating the Effects of Formulated Moist Diets on Juveniles of Patagonian OctopusEnteroctopus megalocyathus(Gould 1852) [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of Patagonian octopus fed with moist diets formulated with several local feed ingredients. All formulated diets were based on crab paste (70%) and the experimental feed ingredient (30%). Experiment 1 assayed salmon meal, prime sardine meal, and wheat gluten, using fresh fish as a control; experiment
