I am are very happy to announce the publication of our paper focus on the spatial behaviour of Octopus vulgaris in the wild using acoustic telemetry (Papadopoulo et al. 2024).

Focusing on the socio-economically important common octopus (Octopus vulgaris), this study employs, for the first time, acoustic tracking techniques to address knowledge gaps regarding the species spatial ecology within a marine protected area. A total of 24 wild O. vulgaris (13 males, 11 females) were tagged in 2022 in the National Park Maritime-Terrestrial of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia, Spain.
