Of note: Large bed of the sea pen Kophobelemnon.

The sediment is soft and characterised by a large bed of the sea pen Kophobelemnon sp. with anemones and burrows. Up a steep slope the substrate is coarser and appears like relict coral overlain with sediment. Over the steep cliff the sediment is once again soft with a Kophobelemnon sp. field. Among these sea pens are anemones including cerianthids and burrows. Squid are common and fish species include eels, Lepidion and an occasional grenadier.

START VIDEO [00:00:00]/07:51. Sea pen fields on moderate muddy slope interspersed with steep soft sediment hosting ophiuroids. [00:00:00] ROV stops for sampling two push cores. It continues to grab images of Metallogorgia, Iridogorgia or Cirrhipathes. The ROV arm is ready to collect the spiral specimen and the ROV team resigns the sampling. [00:00:05] [1] The dive starts on a sea pen field (Kophobelemnon stelliferum) on muddy slope. [00:13:00] [2] The slope is 45 degrees inclined (left to right) with soft sediment hosting white ophiuroids living in small burrows. The ROV follows the bathymetry going uphill. [00:33:00] The slope is very steep now, nearly soft sediment vertical wall. [00:36:00] [3] Here sea pen fields start again on muddy slope. Other associated species are Umbellula sp. and Sagartiidae sp. 3. [00:43:00] ROV stops for imagery of sea pens. [00:55:00] Mud cloud/Vision obscured. [00:56:00] ROV stops for imagery of sea pens (possibly K. stelliferum) and Sagartiidae sp. 3. [01:15:00] Rubbish. [01:18:00] Mud cloud/ Vision obscured. [01:18:00] [4] Here steep muddy slope with frequent Sagartidae sp. 3 and K. stelliferum. [01:35:00] ROV stops for imagery of Corymorphidae sp. [01:39:00] ROV stops for imagery of Pachycerianthus multiplicatus. [01:56:00] Vision obscured/mud cloud. END VIDEO [02:03:00]/09:49.
