Octopuses are animals recognized for their intelligence, camouflage, ability to expel ink when they feel threatened, as well as for the development of their offspring, which can be direct and indirect. In this text, we describe the main characteristics of these two types of development, to facilitate their understanding in biology, reproduction, and ecology studies. Species with direct development have offspring known as juveniles, that inhabit the seabed from birth; on the contrary, those species with indirect development have offspring are called paralarvae and live in the water column. Juveniles and paralarvae also differ in behavior, feeding, physiology, nutrition, morphology, among other characteristics. More research is still needed to understand the biological characteristics of octopuses in early stages of development for farming, consumption and marketing.
