life cycle of pharaoh cuttlefish (sepia pharaonis) under laboratory condition

چکیده
pharaoh cuttlefish (sepia pharaonis) is commercially important and native cephalopods in the persian gulf and oman sea. in 2013, a total of 150 eggs of pharaoh cuttlefish were collected from 20 m depth in about 6 miles south of lengeh port and transferred to the laboratory of mollusks research station in bandar-e lengeh. eggs were incubated in temperature of 27.5±0.5 0c (mean ± sd) and salinity of about 37-38 ppt. after about 15±3 days (mean ± sd), eggs were hatched and the mean (±sd) of mantle length and wet weight of new hatched juveniles were 6.1±0.3 mm and 0.15±.04 g, respectively. in the first month, artemia, mysid and pl of l. vannamei shrimps were fed to juveniles and in second month it shifted to fish slices. after 30 days, average (±sd) mantle length and wet weight reached to 18.6±0.6 mm and 1.67±0.14 g, respectively. at the age of 60 days they reached to average (±sd) length of 32.3±4.2 mm and average (±sd) weight of 8.00±3.72 g. at the age of 120 days they reached to average (±sd) length of 74.5±11.3 mm and average (±sd) weight of 55.74±13.81 g. the sex was identified on the day of 150, and mate selecting occurred on 180th day, mating and spawning were occurred in days 208 and 210 of rearing period, respectively. each female laid average (±sd) 185±30 eggs and average (±sd) life spans for female and male were 212±7 and 218±20 days, respectively. males were bigger than females and the biggest male reached to 157.9 mm in length and 367.10 g in weight. the biggest female reached to 105.1 mm in length and 227.18 g in weight. results showed that pharaoh cuttlefish could easily be cultured under laboratory condition with possibility of rearing to the next generation after spawning.

Sepia pharaonis is an important commercial species endemic to the tropical Indo-Pacific region. Despite its commercial significance, only few information on natural populations is available. This study was aimed to describe the aspects of size-composition, length-weight relationship, catch rates, seasonal recruitment and inter-cohort growth patterns of S. pharaonis population (Clade C), distrib...

In the winter of 2015, a skin ulcer disease outbreak occurred in a pharaoh cuttlefish Sepia pharaonis population cultured on a land-based fish farm in China. Affected cuttlefish (about 60% of the population) were characterized as having developed ulcers on the dorsal skin, fin fringe, or distal mantle tip. Masses of a ciliated protozoan were isolated from skin ulcers. The ciliate was identified...

Fish protein hydrolysates were prepared from Cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis) muscle using alcalase and protamex methods. By conducting the Cuttlefish protein hydrolysate using alcalase (CPHA), it showed higher degrees of hydrolysis, proximate composition, yield, emulsifying activity index (EAI), emulsion stability index (ESI), foaming activity index (FAI), solubility, water holding capacity (WHC) ...
متن کاملEffects of early visual experience on the background preference in juvenile cuttlefish Sepia pharaonis.
Although cuttlefish are capable of showing diverse camouflage body patterns against a variety of background substrates, whether they show background preference when given a choice of substrates is not well known. In this study, we characterized the background choice of post-embryonic cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis) and examined the effects of rearing visual environments on their background prefere...
