Abstract
Body Patterning of Sepia officinalis in Captivity, from Feeding to Reproduction
Highlights
Two fish species have been targeted for long time in the Mediterranean aquaculture: Dicentrarchus labrax and Sparus aurata [8,9,10]
The present study focuses on the European Cuttlefish body patterning during alimentation and reproduction in captivity, in order to collect new data regarding the behaviour in captivity of S. officinalis and the possibility to consider this cephalopod among the marine organisms successfully farmable in the aquaculture industry
Body patterns have been described in several Cephalopods, and the European Cuttlefish S. officinalis is one of the most explicative case studies
Summary
Global fish production has grown massively in the last five decades, with food fish supply increasing at an average annual rate of 3.2 percent, outpacing world population growth at 1.6 percent. The present study focuses on the European Cuttlefish body patterning during alimentation and reproduction in captivity, in order to collect new data regarding the behaviour in captivity of S. officinalis and the possibility to consider this cephalopod among the marine organisms successfully farmable in the aquaculture industry. Body patterns have been described in several Cephalopods, and the European Cuttlefish S. officinalis is one of the most explicative case studies.
