Diet Composition and Variability of Wild Octopus vulgaris and Alloteuthis media (Cephalopoda) Paralarvae: a Metagenomic Approach [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 The high mortality of cephalopod early stages is the main bottleneck to grow them from paralarvae to adults in culture conditions, probably because the inadequacy of the diet that results in malnutrition. Since visual analysis of digestive tract contents

Trophic ecology of Octopus vulgaris paralarvae along the Iberian Canary current eastern boundary upwelling system [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Our knowledge of the diet of wild octopus paralarvae, Octopus vulgaris, is restricted to the first 2 weeks of its planktonic phase when they are selective hunters found near the coastline.

Species Delimitation of Argonauta Paralarvae Reveals an Extensive Morphological Variability in the Northern Humboldt Current System [PDF]
DiversityArgonauts or paper nautiluses are pelagic octopod cephalopods with a cosmopolitan distribution in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. Unlike other species of octopus, these are characterized by the fact that the female has a shell that ...

Antagonistic Interactions and Clutch-Dependent Sensitivity Induce Variable Responses to Ocean Acidification and Warming in Squid (Doryteuthis pealeii) Embryos and Paralarvae [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Ocean acidification (OA) and warming seas are significant concerns for coastal systems and species. The Atlantic longfin squid, Doryteuthis pealeii, a core component of the Northwest Atlantic trophic web, has demonstrated impacts, such as reduced growth ...

You Are What You Eat: A Genomic Analysis of the Gut Microbiome of Captive and Wild Octopus vulgaris Paralarvae and Their Zooplankton Prey [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 The common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) is an attractive species for aquaculture, however, several challenges inhibit sustainable commercial production. Little is known about the early paralarval stages in the wild, including diet and intestinal microbiota,
