Pac Sci 26(4): 400-404.0030-8870http://hdl.handle.net/10125/444ABSTRACT: 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.en-USOctopoda -- HawaiiArticle
