Cobble and gravel/rubble present with Lophelia pertusa and Leiopathes sp. occurred. Coral rubble is interspersed with mud, the echiuran Bonellia viridis dominates on moderate muddy slope. Discarded fishing rope observed. Moving up slow the substrata moves to bedrock crust with epifauna including scleractinians and zoantharians. Leiopathes sp., Stichopathes sp., sponges and sparse epifauna are encountered where the slope is steeper. On a very steep slope with a vertical wall a new species of Goosefish Lophiidae is encountered.

START VIDEO [00:00:00]/12:19. ROV is at the bottom and samples 2 pushcores. [00:08:00] ROV collects imagery of Flabellum sp. Here muddy upslope with sparse epifauna. [00:09:00] ROV collects imagery of marine debris/organic matter. [00:13:00] Here it collects imagery of hydrozoan OTU120. [00:17:00] Now occasional cobble and gravel/rubble. Sparse species of Hexacorallia such as Lophelia pertusa and Leiopathes sp. OTU305 on boulders. [00:17:00] ROV stops for imagery of epifauna living on boulder. [00:23:00] Here Bonellia viridis dominate on moderate muddy slope. [00:25:00] Coral rubble intersperse with mud. [00:31:00] Fishing rope. [00:31:00] Substrata changes into bedrock crust where many epifauna dwell including scleractinians and zoantharians. [00:39:00] Here mud and coral rubble intersperse with occasional bedrock. Leiopathes sp. and Stichopathes sp. are encountered. [00:41:00] Slope becomes steeper and steeper with sparse epifauna, including Leiopathes sp. and sponges. [00:44:00] Here mud is back as primary substrate. [00:50:00] Occasional cobble/boulders. [00:53:00] ROV stops imagery of new species of Lophiidae (poss. Chaunax pictus). [00:57:00] Here water column images. [00:58:00] Back to the sea floor. Sparse Leiopathes and Stichopathes on mud/coral rubble. [01:00:00] Here ROV stops for imagery of muddy/coral rubble sediment. [01:05:00] ROV goes down slope. Here mud is dominated by Bonellia viridis with occasional cobbles. [01:12:00] Now ROV goes up slope. [01:13:00] Bedrock crust with scleractinians on crusts’ edge. [01:14:00] Mud cloud/vision is poor. [01:16:00] Vision obscured. [01:17:00] Very steep slope with crust and coral rubble. [01:21:00] Again water column. [01:24:00] Back to the sea floor. ROV climbs a vertical wall/very steep slope. [01:26:00] Here predominantly muddy slope with occasional boulders. END VIDEO [01:51:30]/14:11.
