A COMPLEX PATTERN OF POPULATION STRUCTURE IN THE NORTH PACIFIC GIANT OCTOPUS ENTEROCTOPUS DOFLEINI (WULKER, 1910)
We investigated the population structure of the North Pacific giant octopus, Enteroctopus dofleini (Wülker, 1910) in Alaskan waters. Octopuses were collected from five locations (Dutch Harbor [DH; n = 45], Kachemak Bay [KB; n = 45], Prince William Sound [PWS; n = 18], Glacier Bay [GB; n = 33], and S...
