چکیده
In this work, the effects of visible implant elastomer (VIE) tags on survival and body growth rate juvenile red octopus Octopus maya from Yucatan Peninsula were tested under controlled conditions. Juveniles with an average weight 1.14 g not affected by VIE within 30 days, so methodology is suggested as a useful tool to study life cycle aspects important fishery species.

متن کاملEarly temperamental traits in an octopus (Octopus bimaculoides).
During their 3rd week of life, 73 Octopus bimaculoides were observed to test whether discrete behaviors could be grouped reliably to reflect dimensions of temperament. Frequencies of behaviors during Week 3 were subjected to principal-components analysis (PCA), resulting in 4 components (active engagement, arousal/readiness, aggression, and avoidance/disinterest) that explain 53% of the varianc...
