  abstract = {{T}he common octopus #{O}ctopus vulgaris$ is very abundant off the coast of {NW} {A}frica, where it is exploited on such a large scale that it is the most valuable fishery product of {M}auritania. {C}onsidering its economic value and because the stocks have been subjected to very high fishing pressure there since the 1970s, without any apparent long-term decrease in the landings, this study focuses on the species' spatio-temporal distribution compared to that of other species of the same benthic coastal community in order to provide some new information about its ecology. {M}ultifactorial analysis of ecological data reveals that the common octopus dominates the benthic community off {M}auritania and covers a broad range of habitats. such characteristics may provide it with a considerable ecological advantage.
