Resumen:
Octopus maya is one of the most promising candidates for octopus aquaculture due to its holobenthic development. The objectives of this study were to investigate: i) whether the time required for embryonic development of this species can be reduced; ii) whether high or low temperatures affect the size and physiological characteristics of embryos; iii) whether temperature affects the time taken to reach stage XX, using thermal time; and iv) the effects of incubation temperature on hatchling performance, measured as survival after 10 d fasting. Eggs were acclimated at 18, 22, 26 and 30 degrees C. Embryos incubated at 30 degrees C reached stage XX 50 d before embryos incubated at 18 degrees C. A mean value of 596 degrees day(-1) was obtained for embryos incubated at 22 and 26 degrees C where embryo development was optimum. Principal component analysis showed that arm length was the morphological characteristic that separated embryos incubated at 22 degrees C from the rest of the treatments. Embryos in stage XIX and incubated at 26 degrees C had a higher metabolic rate than embryos maintained at other experimental temperatures. The best hatchling performance was obtained with embryos incubated at 22 degrees C. Results indicated that the optimal temperature for O. maya incubation is in the range of 22-26 degrees C. Statement of relevance: Octopus maya is one of the most promising species for octopus aquaculture due its holobenthic development. This study will be useful when design production facilities because it gives key information to obtain the hatchlings with the best performance. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
