Giant Octopus: Density graphs

Densities (counts per area) recorded in different habitats.

[ Expedition records & further materials Expedition Home | Artists | Middens | Amikuq | | Education ]


Octopus density recorded during dive transects only. Light blue bars were dives where kelp cover was less than 50%; dark green bars where kelp cover was greater than 50%. Numbers beside the bars indicate sampled area (x 1000m) and the total octopuses found (in parentheses).

Octopus density recorded in different intertidal habitats. Key at the bottom indicates percent kelp cover; numbers on the bars as in the graph above. On Substrate axis, 'Bldr'=Boulders. Graph of density in different intertidal habitats
