“…Recent studies have increased its known distribution in the western tropical Atlantic, with a single adult reported in the MBRS at Isla Mujeres (Lima et al ., 2017). This octopus supports commercial fisheries in distant waters such as Veracruz reefs and central and northern Brazil (Sauer et al ., 2019), so pelagic paralarvae may interconnect different populations along this geographic range. Remarkably, no PL of Octopus vulgaris which supports a fishery downstream in the neighbouring Campeche Bank (Sauer et al ., 2019) was found.…”

Horizontal and vertical distribution of cephalopod paralarvae (PL) from the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System (MBRS) in the Western Caribbean was studied during two oceanographic cruises in 2006 and 2007. A total of 1034 PL belonging to 12 families, 22 genera, 24 species, 5 morphotypes and a species complex were identified. Abralia redfieldi, Onychoteuthis banksii and Ornithoteuthis antillarum were the most abundant taxa. The taxonomic identification from these three species was corroborated with DNA barcoding (99.8–100% of similarity). Paralarvae of Octopus insularis were reported for the first time in the wild. Most PL occupied the Caribbean Surface Water mass in the 0–25 m depth stratum. Largest paralarval abundances were related to local oceanographic features favouring retention such as the Honduras Gyre and Cozumel eddy. No day-night differences were found in PL abundance, although Abralia redfieldi showed evidence of diel vertical migration. Distribution of PL in epipelagic waters of the MBRS was probably related to ontogenetic migration, hydrographic features of meso and subscale, and to the circulation regimes dominated by the Yucatan Current. The MBRS represents an important dispersion area for PL, potentially connecting a species-rich Caribbean community with the Gulf of Mexico and Florida waters.

“…Today, the individuals found in this area are assigned to O. vulgaris sensu stricto (s. s.), that occurs in the Mediterranean and along the west coast of Africa in the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) area 34 (Amor et al, 2017;Sauer et al, 2019;Avendaño et al, 2020). Currently, two species of the O. vulgaris species complex are identified in the CCLME area: O. vulgaris (s. s.) and O. vulgaris type III, distributed in FAO area 47 (south-western Africa; Sauer et al, 2019;Avendaño et al, 2020). It is difficult to assess the percentage of octopus in catches off Mauritania, Senegal and The Gambia due to massive under-reporting, lack of records and illegal fishing activities in this region (Belhabib et al, 2012).…”

“…The coast of Mauritania supports important cephalopod fisheries (Inejih et al, 1995;Faure et al, 2000;Jouffre et al, 2002;Belhabib et al, 2012;Sauer et al, 2019). Based on previous publications on cephalopods in the Atlantic (Roper et al, 1984;Nesis, 1987;Mangold, 1998;Jereb & Roper, 2005, 2010Jereb et al, 2013;Guerra et al, 2014) and research surveys in the area (Hernández-González et al, 2006, 2008Hernández-González, 2007;Ramos et al, 2017;Rocha et al, 2017), a total of 132 cephalopod species belonging to 39 families have been reported from Mauritanian waters.…”

A review of cephalopods (Phylum: Mollusca) of the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (Central-East Atlantic, African coast)

2021

An extensive review of cephalopod fauna in the Central and North Atlantic coast of Africa was performed based on material collected during 10 research cruises in these waters. In the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) area, a total of 378,377 cephalopod specimens was collected from 1247 bottom trawl stations. Of those specimens, 300 were sampled for subsequent identification in the laboratory and found to belong to 65 different species and 23 families. After an exhaustive review of the existing literature on the cephalopods and new data obtained from the surveys, an updated checklist of 138 species was generated for the CCLME area. Our knowledge of the known geographic distribution ranges of several species has been expanded: Muusoctopus januarii has been sighted from Guinea–Bissau waters, passing through Western Sahara, to Morocco waters for the first time; Lepidoteuthis grimaldii and Octopus salutii have been sighted off Morocco waters for the first time; Austrorossia mastigophora, Abralia (Heterabralia) siedleckyi, Abralia (Pygmabralia) redfieldi and Sepiola atlantica have been cited off Western Sahara waters for the first time; Magnoteuthis magna, Abralia (Asteroteuthis) veranyi and Octopoteuthis megaptera have been sighted off Moroccan and Western Sahara waters for the first time; Ancistroteuthis lichtensteinii, Opisthoteuthis grimaldii, Onykia robsoni, Muusoctopus levis and Bathypolypus valdiviae have been cited in the Guinea–Bissau coast for the first time; the northern geographic limit of Bathypolypus ergasticus has been expanded to Morocco, Western Sahara and Mauritania and southward to Guinea–Bissau waters. The presence of Muusoctopus johnsonianus in Senegalese waters has been reported for the first time. A Chtenopteryx sicula specimen was reported in Western Sahara waters. A specimen belonging to the poorly known Cirrothauma murrayi species was found in South Moroccan waters. Amphitretus pelagicus, a probably cosmopolitan species, has been reported in the Western Sahara and Guinea–Bissau waters. Some species that were previously recorded in the area, Sepia angulata, Sepia hieronis, Heteroteuthis dagamensis, Helicocranchia joubini and Tremoctopus gelatus, were removed from the final checklist and considered to be not present in the CCLME area. Cycloteuthis akimushkini was substituted with Cycloteuthis sirventi, its senior synonym, in the final checklist. Similarly, Mastigoteuthis flammea and Mastigoteuthis grimaldii were substituted with Mastigoteuthis agassizii.

“…Octopuses are soft-bodied cephalopods of the order Octopoda Leach, 1818, which comprises 13 families with around 300 pelagic or benthic species (Jereb et al 2016). Benthic octopuses are either holobenthic, inhabiting the sea floor during the whole life cycle, or merobenthic, with a planktonic distribution during early stages (Villanueva and Norman 2008;Sauer et al 2019). The family Octopodidae d´Orbigny 1940 includes 13 ocellate species catalogued in two genera, Octopus Cuvier, 1797 and Amphioctopus Fischer, 1882 (Jereb et al 2016).…”

“…Determining the biodiversity of octopodids is relevant given that several species constitute fishery resources (4.8 million tons extracted during 2005-2014) (Sauer et al 2019) or present aquaculture potential (Baltazar et al 2000;Iglesias et al 2000;Chapela et al 2006), thus, it is important to implement species-specific conservation and management measurements, especially in poorly known areas such as islands. Many insular systems are biodiversity hotspots (Hazen et al 2013), often difficult to access, which hinders the characterization of biodiversity.…”

The biodiversity of mollusks, particularly cephalopods, has not been exhaustively determined in the Revillagigedos ecoregion, which is a biodiversity hotspot for several marine groups located in the Tropical East Pacific Province. In our study, we detected and examined ocellate octopuses from Socorro and Clarion Islands, and determined their identity using morphological criteria and molecular data from two mitochondrial genes (COIII and COI). The taxon identified was Octopus oculifer, a species considered endemic to the Galapagos Archipelago. In addition, according to our analyses, O. mimus, O. hubbsorum and O. oculifer are very closely related and may represent a species complex comprised of three morphotypes. We found that the evolutionary relationships among octopuses are not determined by the presence of ocelli. This study is the first to report a clade represented by ocellate and non-ocellate species, in addition, the identity of cephalopods in the Revillagigedos was determined with analytical support.
