Un espécimen de Octopus briareus se registró frente al puerto de Sisal, Yucatán, México. Este hallazgo representa el primer registro de esta especie en aguas del Golfo de México, expandiendo así su área de distribución más occidental reconocida en el continente americano. El pulpo fue capturado por buzos científicos que realizaban tareas de mantenimiento de rutina en instalaciones submarinas en el área del descubrimiento. El espécimen recogido fue una hembra adulta que pesaba 25,3 g. Se requiere una mayor exploración en el área y en zonas adyacentes para determinar las causas del desplazamiento de esta especie y calcular su abundancia. 2020-09-28 2021-06-03T03:55:46Z 2021-06-03T03:55:46Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed research note Nota de investigación arbitrada https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/3133 10.7773/cm.v46i3.3133 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/7592 eng https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/3133/420420506 Copyright (c) 2020 Ciencias Marinas application/pdf Iniversidad Autónoma de Baja California Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 46 No. 3 (2020); 177–184 Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 46 Núm. 3 (2020); 177–184 2395-9053 0185-3880
