Abstract
This paper records observations on the behaviour ofOctopus cyuneu caught in Hawa shortly after settlement from the plankton. The young animals rapidly establish “homes” on the bottom and defend these against their own species. Of a variety of food offered, crabs were most frequently (nearly always) taken; the animals always took the prey home to eat it. Records of diurnal activity show morning and evening peaks as in adults. There was a steady 2–3.5% daily increase in weight over the first six months (July‐January) after settlement
