| dc.description.abstract | Hubbs' octopus Octopus hubbsorum Berry, 1953 is reported at 24 localities along the Pacific coast of Mexico. The distribution of the species, previously recorded in the Gulf of California (28�55'N, 113�32'W) and in Melaque (southern coast of Jalisco) (19�12'N, 105�40'W), is extended south to Salina Cruz, Oaxaca (16�10'N, 95�14'W). Specimens were captured in the intertidal and subtidal zones to depths of 30 m. This is the principal target species in the octopus fisheries of this vast region. � 2005 Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science of the University of Miami. | |
