Resumen

El desove de pequeños huevos que darán origen a plancton constituye la estrategia de reproducción de numerosos octópodos bénticos, aunque se asocia a un estado plesiomórfico. Las nuevas criaturas en fase planctónica y de asentamiento requieren un gran consumo energético y nutrientes vivos con características y dimensiones específicas, lo que dificulta la obtención de organismos que les sirvan de alimento a lo largo de todo el ciclo vital. A partir de este estudio se han obtenido datos sobre las características del ciclo vital del Amphioctopus aegina (Gray) mediante la resolución de estas dificultades. Muchos aspectos del ciclo vital del A. aegina resultaron muy similares a los de otros pulpos bénticos con una estrategia de reproducción parecida. Se produjo un crecimiento alométrico en tres fases, según el peso corporal, que incluía una fase de transición en el periodo de asentamiento inicial. La eficacia en la alimentación y la conversión alcanzó su punto máximo en los 2 meses previos a la reproducción, que representan un periodo de almacenamiento energético. El crecimiento desde la eclosión hasta el desove fue aproximadamente el 74% del ciclo vital completo, y la fase reproductiva en sí supuso un 34%. Tal longevidad es compartida por otros cefalópodos bénticos con desoves planctónicos. Las similitudes generales entre estas categorías taxonómicas de cefalópodos confirman el éxito de esta estrategia de ciclos vitales en la producción de crías planctónicas por parte de adultos bénticos. A. aegina es la segunda especie de pulpo béntico con desove planctónico cuyo ciclo vital ha logrado completarse mediante la cría en laboratorio.
