Size of shrimp larvae was managed to suite the size of cephalopods of each specie, preferably postlarva 5, 10 and 1 respectively. Feed conversion efficiency of spineless cuttlefish was highest (60.61%) and of big fin squid and pharaoh cuttlefish was nearly equal at 52.10% and 48.22%. The efficiency was with average feeding rate of 19.80% 27.91% and 28.17% respectively independent of stocking density. Survival of spineless and pharaoh cuttlefish was average 99.92% and 93.80% and survival of big fin squid was lower at 78.26%. Unit cost of production of big fin squid, pharaoh and spineless cuttlefish was 9.97, 19.52 and 3.54 US dollar for 100 individuals with 82.32%, 84.71% and 74.26% for cost of live feed respectively.

Snails, Slugs and Cephalopods
Chapter
  • Feb 2017
This chapter reviews the major aspects about the culture of sea snails, slugs and cephalopods of interest to the ornamental industry. Knowledge on rearing and breeding of these marine molluscs has steadily increased in the last decades, but while the well-established sea snails culture protocols already allow commercial scale culture, sea slugs and cephalopods rearing is still in its infancy, i.e. conducted at a small scale mostly for academic purposes. Thus, there is a need for developing feasible culture technology for these two mollusc groups and suitable larval diets and settlement cues that can induce competent larvae. Here we provide relevant biological data to assist the development of culture techniques, information on suitable husbandry, larviculture, nursing of young and growout, presented from an academic and commercial perspective. Emphasis is given to some of the most relevant groups: the cleaning crews (Trochus spp., Turbo spp., Haliotis spp.), nudibranchs and the β€œsolar powered” sea slugs (Berghia stephanieae and Elysia spp.), and keystone cephalopods (Sepia spp. and Octopus spp.).

𝑆. π‘–π‘›π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘šπ‘–π‘ s habit is bentho-nektonic but active in a higher degree compared to Sepia cuttlefish. This species can tolerate environment fluctuations and culture conditions very well, which favour aquaculture.

The planktonic phase of hatchling is different from Sepia cuttlefish. The moderate final size of 50-100 g is appropriate to frozen food product packaging and maintenance in home aquarium.

The pharaoh cuttlefish, π‘†π‘’π‘π‘–π‘Ž π‘β„Žπ‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘œπ‘›π‘–π‘ , is one of the largest and economically important sepiid cuttlefish in the Indo-Southwest Pacific region. The species became a focus for aquaculture when all previous researches agreed that it is an easy-to-culture species due to its reproducibility and high tolerability to culture conditions, hence a high feasibility for commercial scale culture. The cuttlefish benthic habit is one of the advantages for high-density culture which results in high survival. The aquaculture process comprises a collection of live broodstocks, incubation of eggs, nursing of young and growout. The culture methodology is studied in tropical and temperate countries either in closed or in opened seawater systems. Several consecutive generations can be cultured in both systems. Different culture conditions yield different results in growth, final size and longevity of life span. Success in training the pharaoh cuttlefish to feed on dead food yields the success of the culture. The cuttlefish can be cultured as human food, fresh and frozen, ornamental and experimental animals. Various sizes of cuttlefish supplying such various purposes can be produced through difference in culture periods. Innate feeding on specific live prey during the early phase of cuttlefish life is the bottleneck for large-scale culture.

Due to its wide distribution range in the Indo-Pacific region, 𝑆. π‘™π‘’π‘ π‘ π‘œπ‘›π‘–π‘Žπ‘›π‘Ž is an economically important resource of many countries. 𝑆. π‘™π‘’π‘ π‘ π‘œπ‘›π‘–π‘Žπ‘›π‘Ž has been successfully cultured through multiple generations since the 1960s in both open and closed seawater systems in Thailand, Japan, and the USA. The objectives of aquaculture studies are the production of human food in tropical countries and experimental animals in temperate countries. 𝑆. π‘™π‘’π‘ π‘ π‘œπ‘›π‘–π‘Žπ‘›π‘Ž hatchlings are larger than other loliginid squids, which enables good adaptation to culture conditions and a very high growth rate through the entire life cycle. In tropical waters, individuals can grow to 500 g in less than 150 days. This rapid growth results from a high feeding rate and requires a massive supply of live feed organisms during the early phase of life. The grow-out phase begins after 𝑆. π‘™π‘’π‘ π‘ π‘œπ‘›π‘–π‘Žπ‘›π‘Ž can accept dead feed. Further studies of artificial feed or mass production of live feed is required in order to make aquaculture of 𝑆. π‘™π‘’π‘ π‘ π‘œπ‘›π‘–π‘Žπ‘›π‘Ž economically viable on a large scale.

Performance of simple large-scale cephalopod culture system in Thailand

A cephalopod culture system is simplified in order to reduce the cost of production. An open water supply system is considered to be less laborious. The size, shape and colour of concrete tanks in the hatchery are designed from experience to suit cephalopod habits as well as other purposes. The culture protocol consists of four phases, egg and spawner collection, egg incubation, nursing and grow-out. The management techniques of large-scale aquaculture have been employed. Fourteen species of neritic cephalopods are maintained, reared and cultured in the system: three loliginids, six sepioids and five octopods, serving research activity and seed (hatchling) release for restocking programs. Four species are cultured through the complete life cycle and yield consecutive generations. About 2.1 millionseeds were annually released for restocking during the years 1990–2002. The conceptual system design for the commercial scale is proposed as five components. The components are the cephalopod hatchery, the live feed hatchery, the artificial feed plant, the grow-out facilities and the artificial spawning reef.
