In conclusion, the present findings

In conclusion, the present findings add some important piece of information
on basal level of immune parameters in O. vulgaris, as well
as on magnitude of variation due to both immune challenge and simply
manipulation. Moreover, the importance to recognize and evaluate
changes in behavioural patterns as a consequence of stress and/or infection
can be of great help in improving animalwell-being, particularly on
species such as O. vulgaris, which are largely employed for behavioural
studies needing prolonged periods of maintenance in captivity. This
gains further importance in light of recent introduction of cephalopods
on legislation on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes
