The discovery of the world’s largest deep-sea octopus nursery has only ever been found once before and has shocked many scientists. Researchers found almost 1,000 deep-sea octopus nurseries off the shore of Costa Rica in an area called the dorado outcrop. The researchers found thousands of octopus eggs on the ocean floor; some were brooding. They discovered the octopuses near secluded underwater ridges and mountains. Film that was captured of the octopuses taking care of their young and feeding, significantly contirbutes to understanding octopus reproductive behavior. Since deep-sea octopuses are challenging to research due to their isolated location, there needs to be more information on them. This finding will help conservation efforts to save the diversity of the ocean by providing information on the behavior of these organisms.
