“…The life cycle of this octopus species was carried out for the first time in captivity by Iglesias et al (2002) using Artemia and zoeae of spider crab (Maja squinado) as live feed. The authors obtained a survival of 31.5% day -1 post-hatching, a weight of 0.5 to 0.6 kg in 6-month-old animals and of 1.6 kg in 8-monthold animals .…”

“…Other octopuses (i.e., O. maya, O. bimaculoides), by contrast, produce relatively few, large eggs resulting in better developed hatchlings with a benthic habit that resembles the adult (Villanueva and Norman, 2008). They readily mate in captivity and easily spawn, and females reared to the sexual maturity can produce viable spawns (Iglesias et al, , 2004. No further information is available about reproduction in captivity.…”

“…Currently, the rearing of paralarvae is not possible, and the impossibility of obtaining benthic juveniles on a commercial scale in captivity Villanueva, 2000, 2003;Iglesias et al, 2004Iglesias et al, , 2007 forces farmers to catch from the wild the juveniles that will be utilised in industrial on-growing. This behaviour is highly objectionable from an ethical point of view because it potentially increases fishing pressure on octopus stocks.…”

“…However, the phase of paralarvae rearing is considered inadequately explored and survival of paralarvae older than 50 days posthatch in captivity conditions is very rare, and referred only by Iglesias et al (2002Iglesias et al ( , 2004) that reared octopus until 8 months by Artemia and zoeae. In Italy, De Wolf et al (2011) carried out many trials fom 2003 to 2007.…”

“…For feeding paralarvae different prey were experimented: Palaemon serrifer zoeae (Itami et al, 1963), Artemia (Imamura, 1990), Artemia enriched with Nannochloropsis sp. (Hamazaki et al, 1991) or Tetraselmis suecica or Chlorella sp., Liocarcinus depurator and Pagurus prideaux (Villanueva, 1994(Villanueva, , 1995Villanueva et al, 1995Villanueva et al, , 1996, Artemia with spider crab Maja brachydactyla zoeae Iglesias et al, 2004), Artemia supplemented with copepods or juvenile mysids. Rotifer Brachionus plicatilis too was recently tested (De Wolf et al, 2011 prey (species, strain, size, culture technique) and with trial, usually resulting very low after 1 or 2 months from hatching: 8.3% and 0.8 to 9% (Villanueva, 1994(Villanueva, , 1995Villanueva et al, 1995Villanueva et al, , 1996, respectively.…”

Shellfish aquaculture is a widespread activity in the Italian peninsula. However, only two bivalve species are mainly cultured along the coastline of that country: the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the Manila clam Venerupis philippinarum (Ruditapes philippinarum). By contrast, just a few other mollusc species of commercial interest are scarcely reared at a small-scale level.After analysing the current status of Italian shellfish production, this paper reports and discusses the potential for culturing several different invertebrate species [i.e., the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, the grooved carpet shell Venerupis decussata (Ruditapes decussatus), the razor clams Ensis minor and Solen marginatus, the cephalopod Octopus vulgaris, and the purple sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus] in this country.In addition, a detailed overview of the progress made in aquacultural techniques for these species in the Mediterranean basin is presented, highlighting the most relevant bottlenecks and the way forward to shift from the experimental to the aquaculture phase. Finally, an outlook of the main economic and environmental benefits arising from these shellfish culture practices is also given.

Bacterial pathogens contribute to obtain an unsuccessful production of cephalopods. An updated overview of the knowledge of these pathogens must be a valuable tool to improve their aquarium maintenance and aquaculture. The present work provides a description of the main bacterial pathogens associated with larval stages of cultured Octopus vulgaris, and juvenile and adults of several cephalopods. Vibrio species, reported with ability to cause vibriosis in aquaculture, are the main bacteria associated with skin lesions in adults. Different species of Pseudomonas and Aeromonas, among others, have also been detected. Furthermore, gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus have been also described. Among them, V. alginolyticus, V. carchariae, V. parahaemolyticus, V. splendidus and V. lentus have also been isolated from sterile organs or fluids of animals and their potential as invaders proved. However, only V. alginolyticus or V. lentus has the ability to cause lesions, and, in addition, the last one is proved as the causative agent of death in octopuses. Other organs such as eyes of squids are also colonized by Vibrio species or Micrococcus sp., and recently Photobacterium swingsii and Lactococcus garvieae have been reported associated with a retrobulbar lesion in octopus. Rickettsial-like organisms (RLO) are also detected in the gills of the octopus, having a detrimental effect on the respiratory gaseous exchange of the animals. Cultures of octopus paralarvae show a genetically diverse community comparable to those reported previously from other marine hatcheries. Bacteria included in the Splendidus clade is the dominant group in all conditions, except in one of them, where V. alginolyticus, V.
