dc.description.abstractABSTRACT: A mature female and 12 larvae of the octopus Bolitaena microcotyla were captured at bathypelagic depths off Hawaii. The female appears to have been brooding the larvae in a large chamber formed by the oral arms and web. This finding supports the likelihood that the brooding habit is universal in pelagic incirrate octopods.
