Epigenetic DNA Methylation Mediating Octopus vulgaris Early Development: Effect of Essential Fatty Acids Enriched Diet [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 The common octopus, Octopus vulgaris, is a good candidate for aquaculture but a sustainable production is still unviable due to an almost total mortality during the paralarvae stage. DNA methylation regulates gene expression in the eukaryotic genome, and

Time Course of Metabolic Capacities in Paralarvae of the Common Octopus, Octopus vulgaris, in the First Stages of Life. Searching Biomarkers of Nutritional Imbalance [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 The culture of the common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) is promising since the species has a relatively short lifecycle, rapid growth, and high food conversion ratios.

Characterization of the skin mucus in the common octopus Octopus vulgaris (Cuvier) reared paralarvae [PDF]
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2017 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 ...

Effect of natural bioactive compounds on growth and welfare in Octopus vulgaris paralarvae
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe aquaculture of Octopus vulgaris is gaining interest due to its high demand, rapid growth, and nutritional value. However, significant challenges remain, particularly in rearing paralarvae to juveniles, mainly due to their specific nutritional needs ...

Genomic Divergence Between <i>Octopus vulgaris</i> and Its Undescribed Sister Species From the South Atlantic and Indian Ocean. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOctopus vulgaris Type III — an undescribed Southern Hemisphere lineage occurring along the South African coast and Amsterdam Island — is genomically distinct from O. vulgaris sensu stricto and O. sinensis, as inferred from phylogenetic analyses of 338 nuclear loci and complete mitochondrial genomes, supporting the need for taxonomic re‐evaluation of ...
