Muddy seafloor on a moderate slope with sparse fauna including sponges and cephalopods. On rocky outcrops sponges, erect bryozoans and a variety of starfish including Porania are observed.

START VIDEO A [00:00:00]/18:18. [1] Soft sediment with scattered epifauna. ROV on the seafloor, sampling a pushcore. Sampling failed. Video A lasts only 6 minutes. START VIDEO B 18:25/[00:06:00]. Soft sediment interspersed with large cobbles and boulders hosting a variety of epifauna forming scattered geogenic reefs. Marine snow is present throughout the entire dive. The ROV is moving upwards on a moderate slope. Noteworthy, the white balance of the camera is unbalanced and as a result, the visual is shown with a hint of green and yellow, which makes the vision not 100% clear. [2] Soft sediment with scattered epifauna. [00:07:00] ROV samples 2 pushcores. [3] [00:25:00] Here mud veneered boulders, scattered bedrock with sparse epifauna. The boulders host abundant sessile fauna, possibly shallow water white corals and sparse starfish species. [00:30:00] The boulders host a variety of species including erect sponges and encrusting sponges. [4] [00:31:00] Biotope changes into soft sediment with scattered epifauna. [5] [00:36:00] dense field of cobbles hosting various erect epifauna including sponges and corals. [00:37:00] Here the fish population is relatively abundant, mainly small fish (possibly Argentinidae sp. 1 OTU1188). [00:37:00] Interesting behavior of three Cephalopoda. [00:38:00] Dense zoanthid aggregation on large cobble and notable dense aggregation of Argentinidae sp. 1 . [6] [00:41:00] Here soft sediment again with sparse epifauna . [7] [00:47:00] Patch of geogenic reef of corals and sponges on mud veneered boulders. [8] [00:50:00] Soft sediment again. [00:53:00] ROV stops for imagery of white coral and associated orange ophiuroid species. [01:01:00] ROV samples a white coral (unknown species). [9] [01:24:00] Mud veneered boulders again here with scattered encrusted species . [10] [01:28:00] Soft sediment again. END VIDEO [01:30:00]/19:45.
