There are studies on trophic ecology (feeding dynamics, commenwalism and endo-symbiosis of gastropods, bivalves and cephalopods), demographic ecology (in varied aspects such as population structure, survival, growth, reproduction and competition) and descriptive ecology (migration of cuttlefish using marking techniques, larval phenology and fish-cephalopod relationships), together with biogeography and the study of the impact of human exploitation of ecosystems over molluscs.
