Australia’s southwest coastline is a unique marine environment where warm and cool ocean currents create thriving ecosystems. This rich habitat supports crabs, crayfish, abalone, and shellfish—the natural diet of Octopus Tetricus.

Sustainable fishing practices, including octopus population tracking, ensure responsible management. The Trigger Trap has boosted catch rates by up to 200%, but not all octopuses go to market—smaller ones are recorded and released, contributing to vital marine research.

Recent findings suggest that the Western Australian O. Tetricus population could be 10 times larger than previously estimated, highlighting the importance of ongoing sustainability efforts.
