Opisthoteuthis robsoni, also known as the deep-water umbrella octopus, [3] is a deep-sea octopus living off New Zealand on the Chatham Rise. It has been found from 1,178–1,723 m (3,865–5,653 ft) below the surface. Not much is known about the octopus' habitat or life cycle, as only four specimens have been found.
This also makes it the longest-living octopus – most octopuses only live for 1 or 2 years – which this octopus beats with its brooding period alone. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Female Graneledone boreopacifica tend to brood their eggs between the depths of 1,200 and 2,000 metres (3,900 and 6,600 ft); the eggs were never unattended.
Dumbo octopuses are the deepest living octopuses known, with some specimens captured or observed at hadal depths. One Grimpoteuthis specimen was captured 60 kilometres (37 mi) southeast of Grand Cayman at 7,279 metres (23,881 ft), but this depth is uncertain (as the specimen may have been captured while the net was descending to this depth).
