Epigenetic DNA Methylation Mediating Octopus vulgaris Early Development: Effect of Essential Fatty Acids Enriched Diet [PDF]
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

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 size, swimming behaviour, and distribution in the water column make these zoeae a suitable live ...

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 ...

Octopus vulgaris paralarvae vertical distribution in a fluctuating upwelling-downwelling system
The Ría of Vigo (Galicia, Spain) is an estuarine system modulated by fluctuating alongshore southward and northward winds (associated with downwelling and upwelling events respectively). This lead to a very productive ecosystem that supports an important
