Dietary Effect on the Proteome of the Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris) Paralarvae [PDF]
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

Decapod crab zoeae as food for rearing cephalopod paralarvae [PDF]
A simple method of providing a regular supply of live food for the experimental culture of paralarval cephalopods is described. The primary food source utilized was hatched zoeae of large laboratory populations of the hermit crab, Pagurus prideaux. Zoeal

Characterization of the skin mucus in the common octopus Octopus vulgaris (Cuvier) reared paralarvae [PDF]
The Octopus vulgaris farming is impaired by the high mortality of the paralarvae during the first month of life. Several factors have been investigated in this regard, but no data exist on the body surface mucus, which represents the interface with the ...
