08/04/2013,10:58:40,briankennedy, The weather today is still a bit questionable and will have to be monitored closely but for now we are proceeding with the dive at Mytilus. The ROV is scheduled to be deployed at 0830 and we are planning a late recovery at 1930 if the weather holds. The max depth for this dive is planned for just under 3300 meters.   
08/04/2013,11:02:25,iscwatch,Does anything need to be reset on the ship? All we're getting is the logo and a blue screen
08/04/2013,12:40:38,briankennedy,  ROV launch is delayed to work on the traction winch   
08/04/2013,13:00:21,marthanizinski,Good Morning everyone. The ROV team is still working on mechanical issues. We will update you on the time for the conference call when we know the launch time. 
08/04/2013,13:20:25,Catalina Martinez,Any insight into how long the delay might be?  Folks coming to ISC are trying to plan.
08/04/2013,13:21:05,briankennedy,no idea
08/04/2013,13:21:09,Catalina Martinez,Thanks
08/04/2013,13:39:02,amandademopoulos,good morning scott-little delay with the ROV
08/04/2013,13:41:16,Scott France,So I see...
08/04/2013,13:42:10,amandademopoulos,we aren't in the water yet, so grab another cup of coffee everyone and thank you for your patience 
08/04/2013,13:42:35,Scott France,Good morning to you all. At least the sea state looks pretty good out there.
08/04/2013,13:42:48,amandademopoulos,yes and it stopped raining
08/04/2013,13:44:59,briankennedy,  The engineers believe they have resolved the problem and we are moving to launch the ROV  
08/04/2013,13:46:24,Scott France,Great news!
08/04/2013,13:55:02,Catalina Martinez,Good morning all.  Scott, Feed 1 should be improved today, so please let me know if you still see problems
08/04/2013,14:03:08,Scott France,Will do Catalina.
08/04/2013,14:03:11,Scott France,Thanks.
08/04/2013,14:07:03,briankennedy,ROV in the water. It will be roughly 110 minutes to the bottom. 
08/04/2013,14:14:19,Catalina Martinez,Can you please let us know what time to dial in for the morning meeting.
08/04/2013,14:16:31,amandademopoulos,Let's start the conference call at 10:45
08/04/2013,14:20:31,Tim Shank,Good morning all.
08/04/2013,14:20:41,Scott France,Good morning Tim.
08/04/2013,14:20:59,Tim Shank,A fine New England morning.
08/04/2013,14:21:06,amandademopoulos,Actually, sorry to be so indecisive, let's set the call for 11:20, we should be on bottom about 11:50 or so
08/04/2013,14:21:20,Tim Shank,Sounds good
08/04/2013,14:21:25,Tim Shank,Thank you.
08/04/2013,14:21:58,Scott France,And it "only" feels like 89 here in LA at 9:20...
08/04/2013,14:23:02,nicolemorgan,Haha, it "feels" like 96 here in FL!
08/04/2013,14:23:31,Catalina Martinez,Feels like 35 here in the ISC!
08/04/2013,14:26:24,michaelvecchione,Siphonophore
08/04/2013,14:31:29,michaelvecchione,I1 stream 1 still seems to be having lockup problems. Streams 2 and 3 appear to be OK.
08/04/2013,14:31:45,Catalina Martinez,thanks.  I'll check into it
08/04/2013,14:32:18,michaelvecchione,stram 1 problem is intermittant.
08/04/2013,14:32:26,Scott France,I haven't noticed problems but I'm only half looking at water column video.
08/04/2013,14:34:18,Catalina Martinez,restarting some hardware here at ISC to try and fix the feed 1 issues.
08/04/2013,14:34:28,Catalina Martinez,will interrupt feed for a bit
08/04/2013,14:34:36,michaelvecchione,Thanks Catalina
08/04/2013,14:34:54,Catalina Martinez,sure
08/04/2013,14:35:25,michaelvecchione,getting into salps
08/04/2013,14:40:00,michaelvecchione,Stream 1 better now but still occassional short stops in both video and audio. Interestingly I can still watch that camera feed OK on stream 3.
08/04/2013,14:41:49,michaelvecchione,few salps now.
08/04/2013,14:42:24,Tim Shank,885m
08/04/2013,14:42:39,Scott France,I still have not noticed any interruptions in stream 1, audio or video.
08/04/2013,14:43:39,Tim Shank,stream 1 has been clear here on internet 1 as well
08/04/2013,14:44:09,michaelvecchione,Curious. I would not think that a problem with one stream but not the other two would be local.
08/04/2013,14:45:13,michaelvecchione,Also curious, I haven't seen any indication of a heavey salp "bloom" here like we have seen in all of the canyons lately. We are already deeper than where it showed up in the canyons.
08/04/2013,14:45:58,amandademopoulos,passing 1000 m
08/04/2013,14:46:03,Catalina Martinez,Hard to see the stutters on a dark screen, so once we have a good image to monitor, let me know if you see any more issues.  We restarted some hardware that hosts Feed 1 and routed it differently today, so hopefully these two changes will improve things.  If not, please let me know.  I'm at the ISC all day, every day!
08/04/2013,14:46:19,michaelvecchione,Stream 1 has been running better here since Catalina reset the hardware.
08/04/2013,14:46:26,Catalina Martinez,Great.
08/04/2013,14:48:41,Catalina Martinez,I would be interested to know if these changes improve the increased delay Scott has been experiencing as well. 
08/04/2013,14:49:04,Scott France,I'll be sure to give you feedback on that.
08/04/2013,14:49:09,Catalina Martinez,thanks
08/04/2013,14:49:37,Scott France,As you noted, I'll wait until we are on bottom where it is easier to see things. Unless we get lucky and see a whale.
08/04/2013,14:49:47,Scott France,Orgiant squid.
08/04/2013,14:49:52,Catalina Martinez,Or a mermaid. . .
08/04/2013,14:49:54,RHIAN WALLER,We have to be ready for the mermaids though....
08/04/2013,14:50:00,Catalina Martinez,tee-hee
08/04/2013,14:50:07,michaelvecchione,I'm ready
08/04/2013,14:50:14,Scott France,hah!
08/04/2013,14:50:14,RHIAN WALLER,make sure we're white balanced and all before we get there…..they're skittish i hear....
08/04/2013,14:50:27,Santiago Herrera,we hear you well here at WHOI Amanda :)
08/04/2013,14:50:30,Scott France,Now I know why Mike is always tuned in for the water column! ;-)
08/04/2013,14:50:40,Scott France,I hear you Amanda.
08/04/2013,14:50:47,amandademopoulos,thanks Santiago and Scott
08/04/2013,14:50:49,Catalina Martinez,General consensus is that Mytilus is mermaid habitat. . . and that this is why no one had been successful at diving here previously!  The curse, and all. . .
08/04/2013,14:51:12,Scott France,I was beginning to think this morning there was a curse associated with Mytilus.
08/04/2013,14:51:23,Andrea Quattrini,Good morning all~
08/04/2013,14:51:28,michaelvecchione,Have any of you ever seen the mermaid figure in teh introduction to the Challenger Expedition Report?
08/04/2013,14:51:38,amandademopoulos,good morning Andrea!
08/04/2013,14:51:55,Catalina Martinez,Would love to see that image!
08/04/2013,14:52:14,michaelvecchione,I'll e-mail it.
08/04/2013,14:52:43,Catalina Martinez,awesome
08/04/2013,14:55:25,Scott France,This mermaid is on the OE website: http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/history/readings/science/media/mermaids.html
08/04/2013,14:58:14,Catalina Martinez,Beautiful
08/04/2013,14:58:17,michaelvecchione,That's the one from the Challenger Expedition. You beat me to it.
08/04/2013,15:01:56,Tim Shank,passing 1515m
08/04/2013,15:02:54,amandademopoulos,white balancing
08/04/2013,15:06:00,amandademopoulos,so much discussion about mermaids, someone might have to come on the line to elaborate later in the dive :)
08/04/2013,15:10:39,Scott France,I notice Tim left the room as soon as you suggested someone speak on the line about mermaids. What is he trying to hide?
08/04/2013,15:11:50,amandademopoulos,we shall find out ....
08/04/2013,15:12:27,Catalina Martinez,Maybe It's WHOI who has been hiding them and not . . NOAA. . .as alluded to in the mockumentary on Animal Planet!
08/04/2013,15:14:03,amandademopoulos,ah ha! should be interesting commentary for today's dive at Mytilus
08/04/2013,15:14:09,Scott France,By the looks of that figure they are sea-going technicians… Free labor for WHOI?
08/04/2013,15:14:29,michaelvecchione,Also midwater specialists.
08/04/2013,15:14:34,amandademopoulos,it looks like she's holding a plankton net
08/04/2013,15:14:46,Scott France,exactly!
08/04/2013,15:14:47,Catalina Martinez,The image begs the question. ..  . would mermaids really need nets?
08/04/2013,15:15:13,Scott France,They don't seem to be very good with them - one is clearly entangled.
08/04/2013,15:15:19,Catalina Martinez,HA!
08/04/2013,15:15:35,amandademopoulos,maybe she's in training, graduate student
08/04/2013,15:15:50,Scott France,Ha-ha.
08/04/2013,15:16:17,michaelvecchione,:)
08/04/2013,15:16:27,amandademopoulos,the fish are swimming right in, maybe she's singing them into submission
08/04/2013,15:16:32,marthanizinski,Passing 2030 m
08/04/2013,15:17:11,Catalina Martinez,Love that notion.  . a fish whisperer
08/04/2013,15:19:42,amandademopoulos,now we have the pilots talking about it-hydraulics singing to the mermaid so the ROV can catch one
08/04/2013,15:20:34,Scott France,Audio from ISC sounded good from here. No reverberations.
08/04/2013,15:21:31,Scott France,Guess we'd better get on the line!
08/04/2013,15:24:06,amandademopoulos,that's right, scott
08/04/2013,15:24:28,Scott France,I'll be there shortty...
08/04/2013,15:24:45,Scott France,sorry - shortly!! Wasn't calling you "Shortty!"
08/04/2013,15:24:56,RHIAN WALLER,Remember…..no discrimination against those of short stature....
08/04/2013,15:24:57,Scott France,;-)
08/04/2013,15:25:00,amandademopoulos,i'm short, i don't take offense
08/04/2013,15:25:05,michaelvecchione,and looking for cephalopods
08/04/2013,15:26:24,RHIAN WALLER,Me too…:)
08/04/2013,15:28:34,amandademopoulos,quick test of the winch
08/04/2013,15:29:42,amandademopoulos,test complete
08/04/2013,15:31:49,amandademopoulos,continuing descent-pilot change

08/04/2013,15:53:14,marthanizinski,180 m to expected bottom
08/04/2013,15:56:56,RHIAN WALLER,Getting excited at the ISC...
08/04/2013,15:57:05,amandademopoulos,as are we on the EX
08/04/2013,15:59:08,michaelvecchione,JFH
08/04/2013,15:59:51,RHIAN WALLER,and many failed attempts to get there - bad weather, technical issues and even hurricanes have prevented seeing it!
08/04/2013,16:00:00,Tim Shank,Ready to go :-)
08/04/2013,16:01:57,jasonchaytor,Could we hold here for a few more hours so that I can finish the yard work? :-)
08/04/2013,16:02:06,Scott France,Just refreshed my memory on the deepest part of the Retriever Seamount dive: we went to 3860 meters...
08/04/2013,16:02:28,Scott France,saw and collected two octocorals, both of which turned out to be new species.

08/04/2013,16:04:16,RHIAN WALLER,Stylasterids on the right on the rock? Or bryzoans?
08/04/2013,16:04:39,Tim Shank,Stylasterids I think…but not sure
08/04/2013,16:04:45,nicolemorgan,Can you zoom on the tulip "head?"
08/04/2013,16:04:59,Andrea Quattrini,ZOOM SPO
08/04/2013,16:05:23,RHIAN WALLER,good SPO diversity on the rock

08/04/2013,16:09:14,leswatling,isopod to left of bryozoan is cirolanid or aeglid
08/04/2013,16:10:38,RHIAN WALLER,Overgrown bryzoan at base

08/04/2013,16:13:49,Scott France,Catalina - right now I am experiencing no delay between stream 3 quad screen and stream 1, so that problem is solved. Thanks.
08/04/2013,16:14:15,Scott France,i.e. inset of HD1 on quad screen and stream 1
08/04/2013,16:14:36,leswatling,stream 1 video has major halts in it...then jump to catch up...
08/04/2013,16:14:56,Scott France,No halts or choppiness evident on my feed. Audio also good.
08/04/2013,16:15:09,michaelvecchione,Mine is the same as Les'.
08/04/2013,16:15:15,leswatling,should be basalt rock with seds cover.
08/04/2013,16:15:22,Andrea Quattrini,i am good here with I1
08/04/2013,16:15:29,Peter Etnoyer,Video stream 1 is steady in CHS on I1

08/04/2013,16:18:08,Tim Shank,CRA hermit?
08/04/2013,16:18:16,jasonchaytor,sediment appears to be somewhat coarse
08/04/2013,16:18:25,michaelvecchione,I was having the same proplem as Les when I was viewing stream 1 using the "all streams" site. I just switched to the "view stream 1" site and it is much smoother.
08/04/2013,16:18:50,RHIAN WALLER,Phosphorescent antenae
08/04/2013,16:19:09,leswatling,hermit: has one large claw that is gray. should have anemone on back
08/04/2013,16:19:31,leswatling,Jason, seds are probably pteropod shells thus the coarse look.

08/04/2013,16:21:08,Catalina Martinez,The variation between I1 quality across locations  is very interesting.  I've been watching feed 1 on both I2 and I1 and see no ghost images on I1, so that's an improvement.  See a bit of jerkiness, but seems to be coming in that way from I2.  Looks great though.  Keep me posted if it degrades.
08/04/2013,16:21:23,Tim Shank,closeup on OPH on stalked SPO skeleton*
08/04/2013,16:21:29,Scott France,Agreed - no ghost images today.
08/04/2013,16:21:32,Tim Shank,Nice zoom to see disc
08/04/2013,16:21:33,RHIAN WALLER,Nice!

08/04/2013,16:21:48,Scott France,Interesting OPH. Different Tim?
08/04/2013,16:21:49,Tim Shank,Thank yo
08/04/2013,16:21:55,Tim Shank,Yes, it is….
08/04/2013,16:21:58,Tim Shank,working on it...
08/04/2013,16:22:46,leswatling,At Retriever at this depth the octocorals were quite small so be on the look out for little things.
08/04/2013,16:24:38,michaelvecchione,FELO
08/04/2013,16:24:42,leswatling,the rock could be basaltic ridges but we did see some volcanoclastic debris in places.
08/04/2013,16:25:05,michaelvecchione,SHI?
08/04/2013,16:25:31,Scott France,Lots of climbing OPHs
08/04/2013,16:25:35,Tim Shank,Would love to get an image of volcanoclastics from this depth.

08/04/2013,16:26:38,Tim Shank,volcanoclastic sediment- is this what you are seeing? or larger pieces?
08/04/2013,16:27:05,RHIAN WALLER,Agree with Les - the corals at these depths will be super small
08/04/2013,16:27:13,leswatling,what I am seeing is basalt that was deposited in the air...
08/04/2013,16:27:22,leswatling,has a pebbly look about it.
08/04/2013,16:27:43,Scott France,Well, the corals we saw at 3800 m on Retriever were small, but we weren't on steep topography like this...
08/04/2013,16:27:45,Tim Shank,OK, two OPH morphs on rock
08/04/2013,16:27:56,michaelvecchione,I like having the brow cam instead of Seirios cam on stream 2
08/04/2013,16:27:58,morgankilgour,they are definitely rocks
08/04/2013,16:27:59,Scott France,Very large corals are seen at 3000 m and deeper in Aleutians.
08/04/2013,16:28:05,RHIAN WALLER,True Scott - and we have seen some large bamboo corals deep on Antarctic seamounts
08/04/2013,16:28:20,RHIAN WALLER,But, worth keeping the zoom lens handy….:)
08/04/2013,16:28:22,Tim Shank,let's say white and pick for now - oh the pink clover disc morph
08/04/2013,16:28:29,michaelvecchione,also on the Mid Atlantic Ridge.
08/04/2013,16:28:38,leswatling,I miight also add that this volcano, seamount, is about 100 million years old.
08/04/2013,16:28:58,Scott France,Our deep dive on Retriever was driven by equipment testing prior to Titanic dive, and so we were less picky about slope, etc.
08/04/2013,16:29:28,peterauster,I don't recall Bear was this sedimented along the slope either.  Perhaps due to face towards or away from the continental platform, or depth, other factors.  This is less sedimented then Physalia.
08/04/2013,16:30:27,leswatling,Bear had a lot of sed on the top and the sides. The trawl mark we saw on Bear was about 1 m deep...
08/04/2013,16:30:39,Tim Shank,SHI mysid? in water column
08/04/2013,16:31:06,Tim Shank,CRI 4? arm
08/04/2013,16:31:14,RHIAN WALLER,Missing a few legs....
08/04/2013,16:31:14,jasonchaytor,Mytilus is probably close to the core of the western boundary undercurrent, so sediment accumulation on the high slopes on this side is likely to be low
08/04/2013,16:31:39,leswatling,a 4 armed crinoid?
08/04/2013,16:31:40,Scott France,Yes - Tim - HOL in HD2
08/04/2013,16:31:55,RHIAN WALLER,HOl Stichopus maybe
08/04/2013,16:32:06,RHIAN WALLER,Not up on my holos
08/04/2013,16:32:15,leswatling,am losing audio from Amanda a lot....
08/04/2013,16:32:18,Scott France,CRI stalked
08/04/2013,16:32:39,michaelvecchione,I'll (eventually) give frame grabs to Dave Pawson
08/04/2013,16:32:42,Tim Shank,CRI stalked CRI below
08/04/2013,16:32:44,leswatling,I hear the pilots well
08/04/2013,16:32:59,Tim Shank,YES I usually send him a collection of images at the end of the leg.

08/04/2013,16:54:33,michaelvecchione,Thanks I was just going to point that out.
08/04/2013,16:54:47,jasonchaytor,the orange color looks like an alteration product
08/04/2013,16:54:57,Tim Shank,note- lasers are 10cm a part.
08/04/2013,16:55:04,michaelvecchione,good zoom thanks

08/04/2013,17:00:07,RHIAN WALLER,yup - nodes
08/04/2013,17:00:28,RHIAN WALLER,little bamboo!
08/04/2013,17:00:31,Peter Etnoyer,CORG bamboo, yes!
08/04/2013,17:00:32,Scott France,Second sighting if you count the stoloniferous octocoral!
08/04/2013,17:00:32,Tim Shank,COR bamboo with 3 OPHs pink clover
08/04/2013,17:00:49,Andrea Quattrini,stoloniferous CORO counts!
08/04/2013,17:01:00,Scott France,Part of my service to you! ;-)
08/04/2013,17:01:01,Tim Shank,3rd sighting- we passed a very small bamboo - just a stalk below yellow ovoid sponge we imaged
08/04/2013,17:01:06,leswatling,I think this is one of our bramble species.
08/04/2013,17:01:22,Tim Shank,sorry, typed it in but didn't see it soon enough
08/04/2013,17:01:23,RHIAN WALLER,Think there was another one in the cave to the right too
08/04/2013,17:01:41,marthanizinski,39 23.1958 N 67 08.0482W 3227 m
08/04/2013,17:01:58,leswatling,can we imagine this one from the side?
08/04/2013,17:02:19,Scott France,Just on Sundays, Rhian?
08/04/2013,17:02:26,RHIAN WALLER,Beautiful SPO on stalks
08/04/2013,17:02:35,RHIAN WALLER,Just sundays Scott, need to keep in my binder...
08/04/2013,17:03:08,RHIAN WALLER,Beautiful!
08/04/2013,17:03:53,Andrea Quattrini,anyone else losing video?
08/04/2013,17:03:53,leswatling,can we zoom that big bamboo from this angle?
08/04/2013,17:04:10,Tim Shank,XEN

08/04/2013,17:05:55,Peter Etnoyer,video good here
08/04/2013,17:06:15,michaelvecchione,OK here too, although a little jumpy.
08/04/2013,17:06:36,Peter Etnoyer,nice lighting
08/04/2013,17:07:05,Peter Etnoyer,polyps contracted
08/04/2013,17:07:06,Scott France,This looks too big for bramble...
08/04/2013,17:07:07,leswatling,yep its a bramble bamboo... branches come out at right angles
08/04/2013,17:07:07,Tim Shank,CRI - 10 arms
08/04/2013,17:07:21,RHIAN WALLER,POL - scale worm?
08/04/2013,17:07:31,Tim Shank,4 OPHs on COR bamboo
08/04/2013,17:07:35,Scott France,Very old bramble then.
08/04/2013,17:07:36,leswatling,agree though that the base is thick but we have seen that before
08/04/2013,17:07:43,Peter Etnoyer,broken branches?
08/04/2013,17:07:58,Tim Shank,3239m

08/04/2013,17:09:54,leswatling,that's a bamboo too
08/04/2013,17:10:12,Scott France,Polyps look smaller than previous bramble...
08/04/2013,17:10:13,RHIAN WALLER,OPH on SPO skeleton
08/04/2013,17:10:28,Scott France,branches not at right angles?
08/04/2013,17:10:46,Tim Shank,CRI with 10 arms - yellow - perhaps a atelercrinoid
08/04/2013,17:11:42,RHIAN WALLER,SPO

08/04/2013,17:13:08,leswatling,actually I need to change the ID on that last "bamboo". I think it is a primnoid, Paranarella watlingi Cairns. We collected it from 3800 m on Retriever.
08/04/2013,17:13:28,RHIAN WALLER,Great shot on brow cam
08/04/2013,17:13:41,Scott France,I should have asked for a better close-up.
08/04/2013,17:13:56,Peter Etnoyer,hopefully there will be more
08/04/2013,17:14:05,Scott France,APH hotel sponge?
08/04/2013,17:14:26,Tim Shank,looks like a throat
08/04/2013,17:14:31,Tim Shank,yes APH - just see one
08/04/2013,17:15:03,amandademopoulos,i was thinking heart
08/04/2013,17:15:08,michaelvecchione,say "Ahh".
08/04/2013,17:15:14,Tim Shank,yes, that too…..
08/04/2013,17:15:49,leswatling,Usually the amphipods are in the lobes
08/04/2013,17:16:02,leswatling,sometimes you can see them from the outside
08/04/2013,17:16:34,Scott France,Regarding Paranarella watlingi, I think only the single holotype specimen is known to science...
08/04/2013,17:16:51,Tim Shank,3219m
08/04/2013,17:17:01,leswatling,yep, so that woudl be the second specimen.... had the same growth form...
08/04/2013,17:17:26,RHIAN WALLER,Hopefully some good stills from that
08/04/2013,17:17:43,Scott France,Tim - do you have instant frame grabs you could send us for comparison? I have to wait for uploads to ftp site.
08/04/2013,17:17:45,RHIAN WALLER,so you can look at it closer
08/04/2013,17:18:33,RHIAN WALLER,BRYzoan
08/04/2013,17:18:57,leswatling,there might have been one amphipod on the outside of the sponge.
08/04/2013,17:19:06,michaelvecchione,BTW, I have been having trouble getting downloads from the ftp site yesterday and today.
08/04/2013,17:19:09,leswatling,fantastic bryozoan
08/04/2013,17:19:32,RHIAN WALLER,There's some red around the corner there - same sponge?
08/04/2013,17:20:09,RHIAN WALLER,Corals or hydroids up there?
08/04/2013,17:20:18,Tim Shank,SPO white below
08/04/2013,17:20:39,Scott France,Chrysogorgia?
08/04/2013,17:20:49,Andrea Quattrini,and named after Dr. Les Watling!! 
08/04/2013,17:20:58,Andrea Quattrini,yes chrysogorgia!
08/04/2013,17:21:08,RHIAN WALLER,Yes!
08/04/2013,17:21:20,Peter Etnoyer,agree
08/04/2013,17:21:25,RHIAN WALLER,Amphipod in there

08/04/2013,17:22:44,Tim Shank,this one not a chrysogorgia - bamboo
08/04/2013,17:22:45,RHIAN WALLER,Great shot!
08/04/2013,17:22:46,leswatling,I think this is one the Eric Pante and I described. The braqnches are wide apart and very regularly spaced...If we get a close up we might get a name...
08/04/2013,17:22:50,Peter Etnoyer,very large polyps
08/04/2013,17:22:56,Peter Etnoyer,nice zoom

08/04/2013,17:25:03,Tim Shank,PAG
08/04/2013,17:25:17,Scott France,My grad student Eric Pante with Les Watling (who is not my grad student) described a new species of Chrysogorgia (tricaulis) from 3800 m on Retriever Seamount. Could this be that?
08/04/2013,17:25:30,michaelvecchione,hermit crab
08/04/2013,17:25:33,RHIAN WALLER,OPH - all over wall
08/04/2013,17:26:45,RHIAN WALLER,Hermit crab with anemone
08/04/2013,17:27:17,leswatling,I think the branching was 1/3 left, which suggests C. tricaulis. This would be at about the bottom of the depth range for the species.
08/04/2013,17:27:47,RHIAN WALLER,HYD
08/04/2013,17:28:39,leswatling,yeah, I think they are hydroids...
08/04/2013,17:28:51,leswatling,too flimsy to be a gorgonian

08/04/2013,17:43:36,Tim Shank,IS this like the one we saw under the ledge at the very beginning of the dive?  think so
08/04/2013,17:43:41,leswatling,maybe its the distribution into the northeast
08/04/2013,17:43:48,Andrea Quattrini,are these pink SPOHEX common on these seamounts? I have never seen them before...
08/04/2013,17:43:53,marthanizinski,pilot change
08/04/2013,17:45:27,Scott France,SPO: don't recall the red ones, but do recall the white tulips, stalked, and the "grapefruit" on the seamounts.
08/04/2013,17:45:47,Peter Etnoyer,Auster mentioned previous efforts had not been this deep
08/04/2013,17:45:50,RHIAN WALLER,The stalked ones? I think they were relatively common
08/04/2013,17:45:59,RHIAN WALLER,on the seamounts
08/04/2013,17:46:04,Andrea Quattrini,no i was referring to the pink SPOHEX
08/04/2013,17:46:26,Scott France,OK - I don't recall seeing these red/pink ones before.
08/04/2013,17:46:52,RHIAN WALLER,Ah - no, i've seen similar red/pink ones down south. 
08/04/2013,17:46:55,Catalina Martinez,Les, video and audio uninterrupted here at ISC on I1
08/04/2013,17:47:24,leswatling,thanks Cat!

08/04/2013,18:46:56,michaelvecchione,HYD on spicules
08/04/2013,18:47:02,Peter Etnoyer,yes, I saw that one earlier too
08/04/2013,18:47:11,RHIAN WALLER,We think they're benthic.
08/04/2013,18:47:13,Tim Shank,We have seen that yellow hydromedusae several times on the ROC
08/04/2013,18:47:15,leswatling,good guess on the yellow dude
08/04/2013,18:47:41,leswatling,but we should keep alert for benthic siphonophores, which we have seen a couple of times before.
08/04/2013,18:47:48,Scott France,OK - they looked a lot like the trachymedusa we saw swimming a couple days ago.
08/04/2013,18:48:15,RHIAN WALLER,COR Chryso - close up

08/04/2013,18:48:35,Scott France,Were those BAR on sponge stalk behind Chryso?
08/04/2013,18:48:45,leswatling,I think C. tricaulus again by the branching pattern.

08/04/2013,20:40:35,RHIAN WALLER,COR jasonisis - several
08/04/2013,20:40:40,leswatling,looks like Jasonisis again
08/04/2013,20:40:45,Tim Shank,Another Bamboo with attached yellow CRI
08/04/2013,20:41:30,leswatling,this is interesting. the Jasonisis is probably loaded with more nematocysts than is usual in bamboo corals
08/04/2013,20:41:44,Tim Shank,that's interesting Les
08/04/2013,20:41:49,Peter Etnoyer,is the colony in the back toppled?
08/04/2013,20:42:08,Scott France,The Jasonisis we collected on Nashville Seamount was at 2519 m.
08/04/2013,20:42:39,Scott France,and also very large colony
08/04/2013,20:42:59,Tim Shank,BAR near tip of terminal branch of Jasonisis
08/04/2013,20:43:36,Peter Etnoyer,after this, could we get a zoom w/ lasers near base, pls?
08/04/2013,20:43:54,RHIAN WALLER,Looks like there's a large dead base just before it too
08/04/2013,20:44:10,Peter Etnoyer,i see that now
08/04/2013,20:44:28,RHIAN WALLER,OPH on dead base
08/04/2013,20:44:45,Tim Shank,OPHs at the base..but not on living tissue...

08/04/2013,20:45:01,Tim Shank,COR down; fallen onto seafloor
08/04/2013,20:45:06,Scott France,My database tells me we have also collected Jasonisis from Muir Seamount (2636m; thanks Tim and Jess Adkins!), Kelvin S. (2554m), and Orphan Knoll (2674 m) off Newfoundland. So it likes the deeper depths.
08/04/2013,20:46:15,RHIAN WALLER,Lots of COR
08/04/2013,20:46:15,Tim Shank,Great dives on Muir, but great that it's also at Orphan Knoll.
08/04/2013,20:46:38,Peter Etnoyer,SPO many large
08/04/2013,20:46:50,leswatling,And the Brits have a specimen from the mid Atlantic ridge

08/04/2013,20:47:26,leswatling,too much food at these shallow depths

08/04/2013,20:48:41,Tim Shank,some living tissue...
08/04/2013,20:48:55,Scott France,I think it was an octocoral overgrowing, not a HYD...
08/04/2013,20:49:05,leswatling,dead more than live, I think
08/04/2013,20:49:06,Tim Shank,COR brambles?

08/04/2013,20:56:05,Scott France,Bigger thickets than we've ever seen.
08/04/2013,20:56:31,leswatling,maybe not being on rubble means a more stable substratum

08/04/2013,20:58:41,Peter Etnoyer,that was interesting, have you seen that before?
08/04/2013,20:58:53,Scott France,Peter: seen what?
08/04/2013,20:59:07,leswatling,it seemed like a double candelabrum so I was wondering if it was a primnoid... 
08/04/2013,20:59:36,Peter Etnoyer,have you seen candelabrum on other seamounts here? i've seen some bamboos grow like that.
08/04/2013,21:00:02,Scott France,Ah! Yes, we have, at least 2 different species (in different genera/clades)
08/04/2013,21:00:33,Scott France,One of them is the one Mercer and I sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome on...
08/04/2013,21:00:54,Scott France,Les - I missed the double candelabrum

08/04/2013,21:10:31,Scott France,But the other 6 specimens appear to be free of OPHs

08/04/2013,21:13:51,Peter Etnoyer,very large colony, maybe ~1m
08/04/2013,21:13:55,leswatling,branches are too thick

08/04/2013,21:15:44,leswatling,yeah, that was partly what was leading me to Corallium
08/04/2013,21:15:58,RHIAN WALLER,another one for a sample!
08/04/2013,21:16:04,Tim Shank,Yes.
08/04/2013,21:16:07,Scott France,Yes, that was definitely confusing!
08/04/2013,21:16:22,leswatling,but Scott's point about the branching pattern was good too

08/04/2013,21:49:05,leswatling,sorry Mike I missed your earlier remark about nekton, but I think we have seen on our seamount dives that the fish are primarily on the flat tops and very few reside on the sides. at least in the Atlantic

08/04/2013,21:50:08,michaelvecchione,Les, I had the same impression about the canyons -- that few fish or cephs are seen on steep walls, mostly flat areas.
