Le polymorphisme du gène mitochondrial de la cytochrome oxydase III a été étudié chez le poulpe Octopus vulgaris Cuvier, 1797 en Méditerranée centrale. Au total 202 spécimens ont été analyse´ s afin d'étudier la structure génétique et de compléter la phylogénie du genre Octopus. L'analyse phylogénétique a montré que les individus de Méditerranée centrale appartiennent à l'espèce O. vulgaris dont les limites devraient néanmoins être précisées. L'analyse de génétique des populations a montré deux haplotypes fréquents qui sont partage´ s entre toutes les localités. La divergence génétique globale (FST = 0,05, p < 0,05) indique une structuration génétique significative dans la zone d'étude et l'AMOVA a montré une différenciation significative entre les bassins occidental et oriental de la Méditerranée (FCT = 0,094, p < 0,05). Les patrons de structuration génétique observes sont discutés en fonction de leur intérêt pour la gestion des pêches.

Abstract
The polymorphism of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase III was studied in the Mediterranean octopus, Octopus vulgaris Cuvier, 1797. A total of 202 specimens from seven sampling sites were analysed with the aim of elucidating patterns of genetic structure in the central Mediterranean Sea and to give an insight into the phylogeny of the Octopus genus. Phylogenetic analyses showed that individuals from the central Mediterranean belong to the O. vulgaris species whose limits should nevertheless be clarified. Concerning genetic structure, two high-frequency haplolypes were present in all locations. The overall genetic divergence (Phi(ST) = 0.05, P < 0.05) indicated a significant genetic structuring in the study area and an AMOVA highlighted a significant break between western and eastern Mediterranean basins ((Phi(CT) = 0.094, P < 0.05). Possible explanations for the observed patterns of genetic structuring are discussed with reference to their relevance for fisheries management. (C) 2012 Academie des sciences.
