Sumario:The Workshop on Sexual Maturity Staging of Cephalopod, WKMSCEPH (Octopoda: Octopus vulgaris, Eledone cirrhosa, Eledone moschata; Teuthida: Loligo vulgaris, Loligo forbesii, Illex coindetii, Todaropsis eblanae; Sepiida: Sepia officinalis), took place in Livorno, Italy, from 8 to 11 November 2010, chaired by Paola Belcari (Pisa University, Italy, and University College London and London Centre for Nanotechnology, UK), Danila Cuccu (University of Cagliari, Italy) and Paolo Sartor (Centro Interuniversi-tario di Biologia Marina ed Ecologia Applicata, Livorno, Italy). The workshop had been proposed by the Planning Group on Commercial Catches, Discards and Biological Sampling and by the Planning Group for the Mediterranean (PGCCDBS & PGMed 2009) under the Data Collection Framework (DCF). The main goal was to review the maturity scales currently in use and to agree on the adoption of common scales, which should provide a biological background consistent with the objectives of DCF. As a matter of fact, different scales are frequently adopted for the same species and, even when the same scale is adopted, discrepancies among different laboratories and even within scientists of the same laboratory may occur.
