Principles underlying chromatophore addition during maturation in the European cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis

Abstract: SUMMARYThe goal of this work was to identify some of the principles underlying chromatophore growth and development in the European cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis. One set of experiments used a regeneration model to follow the re-growth of black chromatophores for 30 days following excision of a small piece of fin tissue. A separate set of experiments tracked and analyzed the addition of new fin chromatophores during a month of normal, undisturbed growth. We also followed the development of individual chromatop… Show more

“…Chromatophores (i) do not disappear32 and (ii) their colour ratio (light/dark) is roughly constant (1.06±0.19:1 in seven 8-252 day-old animals) 33. However, (iii) the time over which chromatophores turn from light to dark increased from ~19 days (above) to ~97 days in a 105-day-old animal (96.6±9.3 days, s.e.m., Methods).…”

“…Descriptions of the natural course of wound healing following skin damage to the dorsal mantle in E. cirrhosa can be found in Polglase et al 189 Authors also found that bacterial infection of a mantle wound impairs healing. 210 Healing and regeneration of the fin dermis in S. officinalis is described by Yacob et al 427 and regeneration of the mantle connective in several species of octopus by Sereni and Young. 428 The arms in cephalopods have a remarkable capacity to heal and regenerate when a segment is removed by transection with the histological changes described in detail in O. vulgaris, E. cirrhosa, S. officinalis and S. pharaonis 190,[429][430][431] In O. vulgaris following transection of the distal 10% of the length of the arm as part of study to investigate regeneration, the exposed area was almost completely covered by skin in about 24 hours in some animals (T. Shaw and P. Andrews, unpublished data).…”

“…Cuttlefish is a cephalopods type which is outstanding for its color change capacities for either apparently vanishes into its environment or to deliver stunning displays. By various layers of cells in cephalopods the patterns and colors seen are delivered . The distinctive layers are chromatophores, leucophores, and iridophores.…”
