Abstract

Seventeen specimens of Octopus vulgaris and Octopus mimus were investigated using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Clearly differentiable RAPD fingerprints allowed a fast and reliable genotypic discrimination of these species. Thus, molecular genetic evidence from total DNA complements recent results of a comparative analysis of mitochondrial sequence data supporting the taxonomic separation of Octopus mimus and Octopus vulgaris.
