Resumo(s)

Cephalopod landings and consumption have been increasing worldwide during the past decades. The main reason for this increasing demand is that cephalopods are a good protein and lipid source (Kreuzer, 1984; Sinanoglou & Miniadis-Meimaroglou, 1998, 2000; Zlatanos, Laskaridis, Feist, & Sagredos, 2006), thus a highly nutritious food that represents an alternative to over exploited fish resources. Nutritional value of most Japanese squid and cuttlefish are described (Okuzumi & Fujii, 2000). Nevertheless, for the European cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) as for most cephalopods of the Mediterranean and North Atlantic markets it is not yet well studied (Karakoltsidis, Zotos, & Constantinides, 1995; Ruı´z-Capillas, Moral, Morales, & Montero, 2002a).
