It was determined the population genetic structure of the red octopus Octopus maya in the states of Campeche and Yucatan in Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, through the expression of isozymes in polyacrylamide gels. Mantle samples from 25 octopuses, captured in nine sites of the Yucatan Peninsula, were used to characterize the genotypic expression revealed by the expression of 26 loci in thirty enzyme systems. Program TFPGA version 1.3 (Tools for Population Genetic Analyses), was used to process data of allozyme gene frequencies of the studied populations. The parameters determined were: descriptive statistics, F statistics, genetic distances, Hardy - Weinberg, UPGMA and the number of migrants as an indicator of gene flow. The average number of alleles per locus, percentage of polymorphic loci, average and direct and direct heterozygosity were: 1.08 ± 0.05 to 1.15 ± 0.04. P95 26.9231% to 34.6154, Have 0.1142 to 0.1390 and Hdir = 0.0354 to 0.0938 respectively. Heterozygosity values in a range of 0.3506 to 0.4793 and G6PDH for ARGK with an average heterozygosity value of 0.1824, Fisher average value of 0.5313 and 0.0140 Fst indicates a heterozygous deficiency but it is within the ranges reported for marine invertebrate species. The number of migrants derived from the Slatkin equation is 1824 per generation, globally indicates some degree of variability between sites and is consistent with the low values of Nei genetic distance found, particularly the node showing the separation of the population of Lagartos River and Dzilam Bravo from the other locations with an obtained value of 0.0004. From the results of this study, it is concluded that locations of Octopus maya have a certain level of interpopulation genetic variability that does not reflect its fragility.
