Up Close with a Graneledone Octopus, Nautilus Live

Our Corps of Exploration spotted this octopus over 2, 600 meters (8, 530 feet) deep at the Cascadia Basin site of Ocean Networks Canadas NEPTUNE observatory. Tentatively identified as a deepsea Graneledone pacifica, ROV Hercules provides us all a clear view of the cephalopod s shifting body texture and tentacles covered in suckers for grasping prey. Spending over eightminutes with the team (one minute for every arm ), learn more about the anatomy, and lifecycle of octopuses with this fanfavorite invertebrate in this video. Our NA151 expedition partnered Nautilus with Ocean Networks Canada to support installation and maintenance of the NEPTUNE observatory, an 800kilometer (500mile) loop of fiber optic cable located off the west coast of Canada: E, V Nautilus is exploring unknown regions of the ocean seeking out new discoveries in biology, geology, and archaeology.
