The Hungry Octopus and the Endangered Abalone

Jennifer Hofmeister, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Octopuses are one of the most common and important predators along the coast of Southern California. These intelligent hunters prey on a wide range of species, including endangered Abalone. To help Abalone recover, Scripps Oceanographers must first understand the complexities of Octopus behavior. Lecture: 7–8 p.m. Doors: 6:30 p.m. Services available for the deaf or hard of hearing. For additional lectures, check our upcoming Ocean Author Presentations. Perspectives lectures are recorded monthly and can be viewed online through the UCSD-TV website. To date, these 130+ videos have been viewed more than 10 million times.
