The target species of the DOF is Octopus (cf teticus, it was
recently identified as separate to 0. tetricus on the east coast
of Australia and New Zealand, with both species believed to be
closely related to the cosmopolitan Octopus vulgaris specie

Guerra et al. 2010: Acosta-Jofré et al., 2012)
Being a merobenthic species. O. (cf) tetricus produces hundreds of
thousands of eggs and
planktonic paralarvae (Joll, 983). Captivity
experiments have revealed that females brood their eggs f
month (oll, 1976
and paralarvae spend 50 days in the water col
umn before settling on the benthos (S. Kolkovski pers
comm.). O
(cf) tetricus is distributed in temperate waters from Shark Bay in the
north to the South Australian border in the south east, it inhabits
rocky reefs, seagrass meadows and sandy substrates at depths of
5-70 m (Edgar, 1997)
