as a new marine model for evolutionary developmental biology.

Octopuses are intriguing organisms that, together with squids and cuttlefishes, form the extant coleoid cephalopods. This group includes many species that can potentially be used as models in the fields of biomedicine, developmental biology, evolution, neuroscience and even for robotics research. The purpose of this work is to first present a simple method for maintaining embryos under a laboratory setup.
