The positive effects on the survival rate and growth of Sepioteuthis lessoniana sp.1 hatchlings due to PAA-product treatment. Hatching rate of S. lessoniana sp.1 from each experimental treatment group (n = 6 replicates; 30 eggs per replicate). (a) All treatment groups were compared to the control with significant differences shown as: *p < 0.05, ** p < 0.005, **** p < 0.0001. (b) Hatchling size (cm) as the total mantle length within 24 h post hatching of S. lessoniana sp.1 which was exposed to different concentrations of PAA-product for 2 min by immersion treatment (n = 6 replicates; 30 eggs per replicate). 500 and 1000 μl/l of PAA-product groups were compared to 125 and 250 μl/l of PAA-product and the control with significant differences shown as: *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001.
