Abstract Five species of Sepiola and Sepictta were reared in the laboratory from egg to adult size. Spawning was achieved in 3 species of Sepiola after 5 to 7 months. The growth rate of the species reared did not depend upon temperature, which ranged from 12.5° to 20°C. A fairly constant size increase (2.5 mm mantle length/month) was observed in Sepiola during the 5 months after hatching. In Sepietta, the same growth rate was observed until the fourth month after hatching, when it increased to the rate of 5 mm mantle length/month.
