Biological tissue samples for octopus species collected on James Clark Ross cruise JR147/145, Southern Ocean, 2006

Biological tissue samples from octopus species collected from the Southern Ocean, James Clark Ross cruise no. JR147/145. A large collection of tissue samples from deep sea and Antarctic target groups had already been collected in previous cruises. The specific objective of this cruise was to target three species of octopus, Pareledone charcoti (peak abundance 100m depth), Pareledone turqueti (peak abundance 100-200m) and Adelieledone polymorpha (peak abundance 250-350m), for the micro-evolution (i.e. population genetics) component of the project. Most of the octopuses were captured with an otter trawl, due to its relatively large sampling area and the fact that it can be trawled quickly (4 knots) which prevents octopuses from swimming out of it.

Statement

Data collection:

Some samples of these species were also captured by Agassiz trawling conducted by JCR 144. Two locations were targeted: Elephant Island and the South Orkney Islands.295 cephalopods were caught during the cruise; 3 squid and 292 octopuses. 260 individuals were caught using the otter trawl and a further 35 using the Agassiz trawl. At least 10 species of octopus were caught. Every octopus was fixed in 5-6% formalin for 4 days, before being heat sealed in a plastic bag containing 4% formalin. A small tissue sample was taken from the mantle of each octopus and placed immediately in 70~80% ethanol
