Juveniles showed a faster and more stable increase in the number of lamellae than hatchlings. Different temperatures affect the widths of increments; these decrease as the temperature increases from 20 to 30. °C. Our results suggest that in S. pharaonis the pattern of growth of the cuttlebone's structure does not follow a 'daily' increment, and that increments of lamellae vary between life stages. The growth of the cuttlebone is therefore considered to be affected by a combination of physiological and environmental factors. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.age class; cephalopod; cephalopod culture; environmental factor; growth rate; juvenile; physiology; rearing; temperature effectjournal article10.1016/j.jembe.2013.02.0202-s2.0-84882638460
