The species has an incredible potential regarding its use in integrated aquaculture
with bivalves and regarding the use of the whole animal as a resource for different
transformation industries, such as recycling of by-products for feeds and other pharmacological products. The species is also seen as a very interesting animal model
for several fields of research that include physiology, genetics, etc. For instance, the
opportunity to have this animal model culture in the laboratory will allow for inbred
samples for upcoming research on the Sepia genome. The existing culture protocols
allow for small-scale culture for the supply of research centres and public aquaria.
