A recent revival in using cephalopods as experimental animals has rekindled interest in their
biology and life cycles, information with direct applications also in the rapidly growing …

Due to the high mortality rates and poor growth generally observed in Octopus vulgaris
paralarval rearing experiments, it was decided to organize a working group in order to …

Squid, cuttlefish and octopuses, which form the marine mollusc group the cephalopods, are

Cephalopods are voracious, versatile predators. They generally have a short life span and a
single spawning event followed by death. Populations are subject to dramatic fluctuations …

Octopuses of the family Octopodidae adopt two major life-history strategies. The rst is the
production of relatively few, large eggs resulting in well-developed hatchlings that resemble …

We report here the main lipid classes and the fatty acid composition from the total lipids of
