07/21/2013,12:21:27,Andrea Quattrini,Good morning. We are currently transiting north to our NE Seep 1 site, as we were mapping the hazards 2 area last night. We will be assessing the weather conditions at 0930 to determine whether we will launch the ROV or not. Please stay tuned.
07/21/2013,13:48:52,Andrea Quattrini,Hi everyone. We are diving today!
07/21/2013,13:49:12,Andrea Quattrini,Seas have calmed down. Much better out here now. 
07/21/2013,14:18:11,Andrea Quattrini,Good morning everyone. We are getting ready to launch the ROV D2 at 1030 am eastern time. We are exploring a site known as NE Seep 1, which was visited during the D2's shakedown cruise. We are going to first explore an area that a water column anomaly was seen in multibeam mapping area, before we begin surveying and imaging a dense mussel bed and nearby coral community. Dive objectives include characterizing the benthic fauna and geomorphology of the area. This dive is a bit different from others, as we will not be covering a lot of ground due to our interactions with the Aquarium of the Pacific. These interactions will consist of two 20 min segments at 1:400 and 1800 and 3 10 min segments at 15:00, 16:00 and 17:00. I am looking forward to another fantastic dive today~

07/21/2013,15:56:43,carolruppel,Tim--It is sometimes good when we have already found a curtain of bubbles to use Seirios, but I think the HD2 feed is fine for now until when/if we see bubbles.
07/21/2013,15:56:52,Taylor Heyl,Continuing to WP1
07/21/2013,15:57:38,Tim Shank,I agree.  I usually use Seirios…but normally bring Seirios down a little lower and over the ROV when in this mode…

07/21/2013,17:01:05,leswatling,Tim, I am wondering if the lack of b stars earlier was due to very minor levels of seep gas in the seds... is that possible? Can there be a zone of very low level seep action around the most intense place?
07/21/2013,17:01:57,carolruppel,hydrogeologically: yes...we believe that seeps have areas of highly focused advective flux and areas of more diffuse leakage as well..
07/21/2013,17:02:14,leswatling,love those caprellids and they seem to love these places.
07/21/2013,17:03:30,leswatling,thanks carol.... so some sed communities could have lowered diversity due to low or diffusive flux...
07/21/2013,17:03:46,Sophie Plouviez Duke Marine,MUS lots of different sizes
07/21/2013,17:05:47,leswatling,looks like a massive recruitment event...

07/21/2013,17:06:27,carolruppel,i don' tknow current thinking since i'm not an ecologist;  however, what cindy and i were chasing a decade ago down on blake ridge seep was using the seafloor communities as 'seafloor flux indicators'--dead ones might indicate old age or toxicity (e.g., due to sulfide) or disease; live ones might be where there is more active seepage;  but very high seepage seems often to be associated (as documented well by the germans) with fairly bare areas...maybe high CH4 seepage too often assoc with too much sulfide as well causing toxicity (lower diversity) close by the seepage; diffuse flux might be attractive for some of these near seep organisms (xenophyophores are a good sign perhaps?)
07/21/2013,17:07:24,Taylor Heyl,two species of APH
07/21/2013,17:07:26,carolruppel,little shells here are juveniles?
07/21/2013,17:08:13,Tim Shank,Les, yes there can be seep influence away from the central area…usually will see staining on sediment though…darker stains indicating some brine/methane seepage.  Don't typically see non-chemosynthetic ophiuroids near seeps….in the atlantic and gulf of mexico.
07/21/2013,17:08:24,leswatling,yep, seems like there was a massive set of young onto the old... maybe this suggests seep has been going for a while.

07/21/2013,17:56:40,carolruppel,Inability to find seafloor bubbling here may reflect (a) this stream was deemed weaker from the start based on the mulitbeam water column backscatter Meme did so maybe only few burps of bubbles making up the water column bubble stream; (b) ephemerality--the seep is shutting off and on, even on time scales of days or hours, an increasingly well understood phenomenon; (c) we are looking for a  needle in a haystack (not likely explanation given the sonar capabilities we have?); (d) plume base mislocated at seafloor within resolution of multibeam (also unlikely since we have gone over this area many different ways...and probably would have detected plume in water column today were it there)
07/21/2013,17:56:48,Scott France,Yes, I reviewed the eventlog and saw mention of that.

07/21/2013,18:06:31,Scott France,Yes. But I don't think Corallium has ever been recorded from US continental slope - at least east coast...
07/21/2013,18:06:46,Scott France,So this would be very interesting
07/21/2013,18:06:50,leswatling,not so far...

07/21/2013,18:46:05,Scott France,Didn't we see on earlier dives this week methane ice buried in sediment?
07/21/2013,18:46:17,Scott France,pokin out of sediments?
07/21/2013,18:49:19,carolruppel,i've lost the conference line i think;  we've got good video here i fyou need to be elsewhere to set up for event
07/21/2013,18:51:22,Bernie Ball,Scott - on the first seep dive I think.
07/21/2013,18:52:04,carolruppel,Scott--We saw hydrate at seafloor on 11 and 12 July seep dives; see log Amanda & I wrote and NOAA OE posted--some pix in there
07/21/2013,18:52:43,carolruppel,habit of hydrate varied:  some was 'inverted snowcones' beneath overhangs like Cindy & I saw on Blake Ridge in 2001; some right at seafloor as thin veneer; other in chunks
07/21/2013,18:53:11,Scott France,Bernie & Carolyn - my comment on seeing the ice wasn't so much a question as a response to Andrea noting it was interesting to see bubbles coming from sediment. So, perhaps there is simply buried/uncovered ice there, was my point.
07/21/2013,18:53:41,carolruppel,i am certain this is the case in other places we have visited, but can't yet prove it
07/21/2013,18:53:52,Scott France,Note - I am NO seep expert! Just an interested obswerver today.

07/21/2013,19:31:40,Scott France,Yes - Corallium is dimorphic
07/21/2013,19:32:17,sandrabrooke,That base looks like P. 
07/21/2013,19:32:32,leswatling,Its no wonder there is a problem with this because Paragorgia and Corallium are very close genetically.
07/21/2013,19:32:54,michaelvecchione,quick zoom on oct?
07/21/2013,19:33:02,leswatling,But if you lok at the big red one you will see polyps coming off in all directions.
07/21/2013,19:33:13,Andrea Quattrini,and more "bulbous" at the ends?
07/21/2013,19:33:21,Andrea Quattrini,terminal?
07/21/2013,19:33:35,leswatling,Correct... this one has very small terminal branches
07/21/2013,19:33:41,Scott France,But these also seem awfully big for Corallium colonies.

07/21/2013,20:41:56,amandademopoulos,my understanding is the XEN are broadly distributed epifauna in the deep sea (>500m), and we have seen them near seeps here and south at the Blake Ridge seeps, but I'm not sure if there are seep-specific Xenophyophores-they create their own habitat of sorts, with distinct infauna found beneath them that differ from surrounding seds

07/21/2013,20:49:44,Scott France,I wonder if it is simply that it is a much younger colony. Hasn't had a chance to put out multiple layers of branches and get all knobby.
07/21/2013,20:50:50,leswatling,maybe, but i think the pattern of the branching is what set it apart... more like an Ellisella...

07/21/2013,21:40:36,Andrea Quattrini,did you all decide if that red coral branched differently was a Paragorgia? I  missed it.
07/21/2013,21:40:56,Tim Shank,filamentous microbial mat - a little like Thiothrix..
07/21/2013,21:40:58,Scott France,Can a seep person remind me: are the carbonates here authigenic and related to seep-processes?
07/21/2013,21:41:04,Tim Shank,but fuzzier
07/21/2013,21:41:15,carolruppel, we think these are authigenic, but we'd need a sample to be sure
07/21/2013,21:41:34,Scott France,Yes - all the red and pink (and white, IMHO) corals were Paragorgia
07/21/2013,21:41:47,Scott France,Thanks for carbonate answer

07/21/2013,21:51:01,Scott France,Bernie - no doubt many decades at a minimum.
07/21/2013,21:51:26,Scott France,Agree with Andrea: 100-200 yrs not unreasonable guess
07/21/2013,21:51:37,Bernie Ball,Amazing, thanks.
07/21/2013,21:52:07,Taylor Heyl,large patch of mussel shells here with a few live MUS
07/21/2013,21:52:15,michaelvecchione,The G. verrucosa seems to be distributed more densely in seep areas than e.g. on rock walls or soft bottoms where we also see them.
07/21/2013,21:53:11,Scott France,Brendan gone for live interview, I think
07/21/2013,21:54:42,Tim Shank,on his way to the lounge i think

07/21/2013,22:01:42,carolruppel,Brendan--any discussion yet of timing of post-dive call?  some USGS folks pinging me on this thx
07/21/2013,22:02:41,Brendan Roark,looking into it 1 min
07/21/2013,22:04:10,Brendan Roark,they are leaving the bottom at 6:25 ish so we can could 6:45 , what do you think Tim
07/21/2013,22:05:00,robertcarney,BIV odd looking live mussel w/ respect to shell with and without periostricum...maybe growth stopped for a while
07/21/2013,22:05:46,Taylor Heyl,SHI
07/21/2013,22:07:26,Tim Shank,Yes, I think that's fine - 6:45pm
07/21/2013,22:08:51,carolruppel,i will pass along; i probably won't make it--my regrets
07/21/2013,22:09:31,Brendan Roark,ok sorry
07/21/2013,22:10:08,carolruppel,not your fault!  amanda and maybe jason will join in; jason was asking where dive tomorrow will be
07/21/2013,22:11:25,Brendan Roark,to be discussed at the conference call
07/21/2013,22:14:24,michaelvecchione,snap zoom on OCT?
07/21/2013,22:15:36,Scott France,So if these are senescing as they guard eggs, that implies they have only a singling mating event, or at least egg laying...
07/21/2013,22:16:06,michaelvecchione,Thanks. FSH looked like a dragonfish
07/21/2013,22:16:43,michaelvecchione,Yes Scott. egg laying (and guarding) is very likely terminal for the life cycle.
07/21/2013,22:17:35,Scott France,So, do they have slow growth rates or short life times?
07/21/2013,22:18:37,michaelvecchione,Again Graneledone, but notice that althogh the suckers are supposed to be uniserial, when they contract teh arms the suckers appear biserial, which confises classic taxonomy for deep-sea octopods.
07/21/2013,22:19:27,Tim Shank,ACN many (>6) on CORP para
07/21/2013,22:20:22,michaelvecchione,The deep-sea ones probably live for several years, as opposed to one year for shallow ones. A graneledone 
07/21/2013,22:20:31,michaelvecchione,WAIT cool swimming sequence.
07/21/2013,22:20:34,Scott France,Thanks Mike
07/21/2013,22:20:37,Tim Shank,Sorry, meant to say CORO paragorgia
07/21/2013,22:20:59,michaelvecchione,A graneledone in the eastern Pacific has been documented guarding eggs for 3 years.
07/21/2013,22:21:13,Scott France,Wow! That is commitment.

07/21/2013,22:22:05,Bernie Ball,Welcome back
07/21/2013,22:22:14,Scott France,Great questions you got!
07/21/2013,22:23:25,Tim Shank,Andrea, just looking at notes here….as to what was imaged.
07/21/2013,22:23:43,Tim Shank,small paragorgia in front of us?

07/21/2013,22:32:29,Scott France,Mike - so if they are guarding for 3 years, are they guarding multiple broods, or is that a reflection of how long it takes an egg to hatch. I doubt the latter even as I write it.
07/21/2013,22:34:58,michaelvecchione,As far as we know it is a single batch.  The 3 yr obs (unpublished by the Robison group) is a huge surprise although other deep-sea octopods are known to take a year.
07/21/2013,22:35:41,michaelvecchione,BTW the eggs are among the largest invertebrate eggs known.
07/21/2013,22:37:30,Scott France,Cool stuff. So much to learn.
07/21/2013,23:51:46,Andrea Quattrini,Thanks so much for a great day today. We are currently in a storm and the ROV is still waiting to be recovered until the lightning subsides. Our dive launch will be a little later tomorrow, at 0930. We are going to steam west toward Block Canyon. Stay tuned for a dive plan/email from us shortly.
