Digestive enzymes and timing of digestion in Octopus vulgaris type II

The study of digestive physiology is a crucial aspect enabling commercial aquaculture of Octopus vulgaris type II. Knowing the processes of digestion, absorption, and assimilation of nutrients and factors that modulate the digestive environment is fundamental for designing adequate diets based on the digestive capacity of the animals. In the present study, we characterized the activity of total proteases in the gastric juice and digestive gland...
