You’re one in a vermilion, rockfish!

No, really! Rockfish nearly disappeared in Monterey Bay due to overfishing. But thanks to people—the fishing industry, scientists, and government agencies—working together, the Sebastes populations are rocking on!

It’s an environmental success story that shows the resiliency of nature when we work together to give it a chance!

Macrotritopus defilippi, широко известный как длиннорукий осьминог-лилипут или атлантический длиннорукий осьминог, является небольшим видом осьминогов, морских головоногих моллюсков отряда Octopoda.

Macrotritopus defilippi - это небольшой осьминог с относительно длинными руками и мантией длиной до 90 мм (3,5 дюйма). Как и у большинства осьминогов, цвет кожи может варьироваться. Обычно он либо однотонный, либо в крапинку и полностью соответствует цвету окружающей местности, песчаных равнин, на которых он обитает. Там, где субстрат содержит гравий или песок, крапчатый рисунок часто крупнее, на коже могут быть небольшие сосочки (мясистые выпуклости), а на руках - светлые и темные полосы. Этот осьминог также может зарываться в субстрат, не оставляя никаких визуальных следов своего местонахождения.

Личинки Macrotritopus defilippi плавают с вытянутыми лапками и, если их потревожить, взлетают с помощью реактивного двигателя, иногда достигая морского дна и ища нору, в которой можно спрятаться. Ночью они могут вести пелагический образ жизни, а днем - бентический, но, по-видимому, с возрастом становятся менее ночными. Когда взрослая особь осьминога передвигается, то делает это таким образом, что его поведение при плавании очень напоминает поведение донных камбал, обитающих в тех же водах.

Macrotritopus defilippi был обнаружен в Атлантическом океане, включая Карибское море, Средиземное море, северную часть Индийского океана и побережье Сомали.

Macrotritopus defilippi, commonly known as the long-armed midget octopus or Atlantic long-armed octopus, is a small species of octopus, marine cephalopods of the order Octopoda.

Macrotritopus defilippi is a small octopus with relatively long arms and a mantle up to 90 mm (3.5 in) long. As with most octopuses, skin color can vary. It is usually either monophonic or speckled and fully corresponds to the color of the surrounding area, the sandy plains on which it lives. Where the substrate contains gravel or sand, the speckled pattern is often larger, there may be small papillae (fleshy bulges) on the skin, and light and dark stripes on the hands. This octopus can also burrow into the substrate without leaving any visual traces of its location.

Macrotritopus defilippi larvae swim with their legs outstretched and, if disturbed, take off using a jet engine, sometimes reaching the seabed and looking for a hole in which to hide. They can lead a pelagic lifestyle at night and a benthic lifestyle during the day, but apparently they become less nocturnal with age. When an adult octopus moves, it does so in such a way that its swimming behavior is very similar to that of bottom flounders living in the same waters.

Macrotritopus defilippi has been found in the Atlantic Ocean, including the Caribbean Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the northern Indian Ocean and the coast of Somalia.

Polites. Polites I fucking love you. I love you, I have always loved you and I will always love you.

If there are one million Polites fans, I am one of them.

If there is one Polites fan, that is me.

If there are no polites fans, the very concept of my existence has been wiped from every universe and timeline.

No one could ever make me hate you polites, you can never do any wrong and you are perfect.

If Polites was alive during 'keep your friends close' then odysseus would have just been napping on polites lap and polites would be glaring at the crew like 'I may greet the world with open arms but I swear to the gods I will greet your face with my tightly closed fist if you try to get this bag open.' He would look at Eurylochus and go 'Try me, I dare you. Try and get this bag open and see how well that goes for you. I swear Eury, do NOT test me.'

Polites > everyone else ever

sasha starting the day off strong by (checks notes) letting skateboard tricks be preformed over the stanley cup. brilliant.

is it funnier that sasha is letting this happen with him as the acting babysitter of the cup and if it gets a dent its basically his fault or the fact that despite giving his permission you can tell how nervous he is during the whole thing

also putting the cup on a skateboard too- MISS STANLEY IS A SK8ER GORL

The line "Everything changed since Polites" makes me think Polites was not just Odysseus' best friend, but the heart of the crew.

Polites was the one who asked anyone who looked down how they were feeling. He was the one to give his portion of food and wine if it was scarce. He was the one to stick by the sick, the wounded and the dying during the war. He was the one everyone could vent to and receive complete understanding. He was the one who mourned every death, even if he didn't know the person very well.

Odysseus was not the only one to mourn him and his loss made a big difference.

🐙 Daily Cephalopod Fact: 🐙

Flapjack Octopus: *Not to be confused with the Dumbo Octopus* Their maximum size is 7.9 inches in length. They have eight arms (like any other octopus), but these are affixed together in an umbrella shape. However unlike other octopus, they are unable to camouflage by changing skin color and texture. They have a gelatinous body, which spreads into a parachute shape when maneuvering through dimly lit water. They swim by moving their fins, pulsing their webbed arms, pushing water through their funnel for jet propulsion, or all three at once.
