Dr. Karina Hall (2002) reared the eggs to juvenile adult stage but growth was very slow compared to that of other cuttlefish such as Sepia officinalis. A great deal more aquaculture effort on a larger scale is needed to assess the convenience of culturing this species in the laboratory or for providing a food source. The largest problem is that cuttlefish are carnivores that strongly prefer live food such as crustaceans and fish.
