Deep octopod habitat in the western North Atlantic characterized by Standard Ecological Classification from videos
Abstract Habitat characterization is important to assess fully the niches of different organisms. There is a large knowledge gap regarding habitat use by deep‐sea benthic incirrate octopods, partly due to their assumed preference for hard‐to‐sample rocky substrata. This study uses observations from...
