AQUACULTURE OVERVIEW
in development
Found in tidepools, rocky areas, low intertidal zone and subtidal waters to 500m. Average specimens have arm spread of 1.5m, with some individuals up to 3m across. Colour varies from reddish to brown; large pigmentation cells enable the octopus to change color to match its surroundings. The octopus was traditionally hunted for use as bait for halibut.
