Comment on Larger Pacific striped octopus

Comments

Quite confusing how the referenced paper [1] juxtaposes Guatemala, Panama, and the (British) Columbia region of Canada.

Unless they actually meant Colombia. But peer review would certainly catch that.

The paper doesn't seem to mention Canada anywhere. Columbia has coastlines on the Pacific and Caribbean. I can see how the adjective stack could lead a person astray tho.

  In the 1970’s this species was common in the Bay of Panama, Panama, and commercial shrimp trawlers found individuals on the northern Pacific coast of Columbia.

So they (and you) really meant Colombia instead.
