Biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea: estimates, patterns and threats

TL;DR: Overall spatial and temporal patterns of species diversity and major changes and threats were assessed, and temporal trends indicated that overexploitation and habitat loss have been the main human drivers of historical changes in biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid and fatty acid composition of early stages of cephalopods : an approach to their lipid requirements

TL;DR: It can be deduced that cephalopod paralarvae and juveniles must require a food rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), phospholipids and cholesterol and with a moderate content in neutral lipids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rearing of Octopus vulgaris paralarvae: Present status, bottlenecks and trends

TL;DR: Rearing techniques for the O. vulgaris paralarvae used by the different research participant teams are described, with regard to tank systems, feeding environment, and diets (Artemia, crustacean zoeae, sandeel flakes, copepods, etc.).
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental rearing and growth of planktonic Octopus vulgaris from hatching to settlement

TL;DR: Comparison of these results with previous studies suggests that paralarvae settle when they reach a critical size irrespective of age, and that the duration of the planktonic period is probably temperature dependent.
