Amphioctopus Fangsiao NIFREL4
''Amphioctopus'' is a genus of octopuses comprising around 16 species. Description Members of the genus ''Amphioctopus'' reside in tropical and subtropical waters. These octopuses are found primarily in the Pacific and Indian Oceans but representatives can also be found in the Atlantic. They are characterized by arms that are about two or three times their mantle length with deep lateral webs and very shallow dorsal webs.Norman, M.D. & F.G. Hochberg (2005). The current state of octopus taxonomy. ''Phuket Marine Biological Center Research Bulletin'' 66: 127–154. This genus can be further divided into two subgroups, one group with ocellate octopuses, the other with non-ocellate octopuses.Norman, M. (2003). ''Cephalopods: A World Guide''. Hackenheim, ConchBooks, p. 214. Taxonomic status Historically, members of this genus were placed within the genus ''Octopus'', but recognized as forming a distinct group and referred to as the ''Octopus aegina'' species complex.Huffard, C. ...

Veined Octopus
''Amphioctopus marginatus'', also known as the coconut octopus and veined octopus, is a medium-sized cephalopod belonging to the genus ''Amphioctopus''. It is found in tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean. It commonly preys upon shrimp, crabs, and clams, and displays unusual behavior including bipedal and quadrupedal walking as well as tool use (gathering coconut shells and seashells and using these for shelter). Taxonomy ''Amphioctopus marginatus'' is a species of octopus located in the family Octopodidae, genus ''Amphioctopus.'' The species was first described in 1964 by Japanese malacologist Iwao Taki as ''Octopus marginatus,'' and synonymously as ''Amphioctopus marginatus.'' In 1976, Z. Dong named the species ''Octopus striolatus'' but this name was not recognized as taxonomically valid. Size and description The main body of the octopus is normally long and including the arms, approximately long. The octopus displays a typical color pattern with dark ramified li ...

Enteroctopus
''Enteroctopus'' is an octopus genus whose members are sometimes known as giant octopuses. Etymology The generic name ''Enteroctopus'' was created by Alphonse Tremeau de Rochebrune and Jules François Mabille in 1887 and published in 1889, joining Ancient Greek 'gut' and , thus 'octopus ith arms similar toguts.' Description ''Enteroctopus'' is a genus of generally temperate octopuses. Members of this genus are characterized by their large size and are often known as giant octopuses. ''Enteroctopus'' species have distinct longitudinal wrinkles or folds dorsally and laterally on their bodies. Their heads are distinctly narrower than the mantle width. The hectocotylus of the males in this genus, found on the third right arm, is long and narrow in comparison with other genera in the family Octopodidae, often comprising one-fifth the length of the arm. Octopuses in this genus have large, paddle-like papillae instead of the more conical papillae in other octopus genera. Spe ...

Amphioctopus Fangsiao
''Amphioctopus fangsiao'', called webfoot octopus, is a species of octopus, a cephalopod belonging to the genus '' Amphioctopus''. It is found in the Pacific Ocean, including off the coasts of New Zealand as well as in the Yellow Sea and surrounding Chinese shores. It is also commercially fished. Individuals of ''A. fangsiao'' that share genetic similarities by region are distributed throughout the Yellow Sea by size. They can also be infected by parasites in genus '' Aggregata'' and ''Octopicola.'' Name The Chinese name for this octopus is ''fanshao'' (飯蛸), meaning "rice octopus", because its eggs resemble grains of rice. The binomial name ''Amphioctopus fangsiao'' is derived from the Chinese name. Distribution This species occurs in the Philippine Sea, the northwest Pacific and off the coast of Japan ( Osaka Bay). The lifespan of this species is approximately a year, typically spawning in the spring and growing linearly after spawning. In Haizhou Bay in the Yellow ...
