10/04/2014,10:32:58,briankennedy,  Well it looks like we may have lucked out and found a small window to get the ROVs in the water. I am not sure if we will be able to stay in all day because of the next frontal system is forecasted to move into the area later today but we should be able to get at least a few hours of bottom time morning, if not the whole day. The ROV will be deployed between 0800 and 0830 EDT for a 1500 meter dive in Ryan Canyon.

10/04/2014,11:39:23,michaelford,live streams 2 and 3 are great.  live stream 1 on I1 is pixelated and changing colors
10/04/2014,11:43:37,michaelford,lives stream 1 looks great on I1 now.  
10/04/2014,11:45:12,kaseycantwell,Hi Mike- the ship is aware, they are working on it now 
10/04/2014,12:05:03,Scott France,Good morning folks. Excited to be getting back in the water today. 15 min to ROV launch.
10/04/2014,12:09:07,kaseycantwell,Morning Scott! Glad we get to dive today!
10/04/2014,12:13:39,Scott France,D2 is in the water.

10/04/2014,14:22:25,susanschnur,ok - could it be covering a chalky cliff? I really expected to see a cliff here, based on the bathymetry.

10/04/2014,14:23:45,Scott France,or you mine!
10/04/2014,14:23:53,jasonchaytor,probably...I would expect cliffs here are probably erosion features that have cut into the sediment pile

10/04/2014,14:27:54,jasonchaytor,at this depth, these canyons have likely been cut off from all but episodic sediment gravity flows and are accumulating significant amounts of hemipelagic sediments.  Adjacent landslide scars are probably "old", at least 10,000 years, so 1-2 m of post-failure sediment draping

10/04/2014,15:17:14,susanschnur,Latest weather report - winds are staying strong and steady from one direction. We should be good for another hour or so.
10/04/2014,15:17:25,randalsinger,rhinichimera has a longer snout
10/04/2014,15:17:26,susanschnur,Brian is monitoring the situation.
10/04/2014,15:17:38,randalsinger,id bet my lucky dollar it was Hariotta

10/04/2014,15:21:25,randalsinger,ya Hariotta's snout is shorter and much less inflated.  Technically rhinochimaera isnt a bad ID since its in that family
10/04/2014,15:21:30,randalsinger,just a different genus

10/04/2014,15:28:57,jasonchaytor,oxidation pyrite or some forms of hydrated FeS (hydrotriolite) can change the color

10/04/2014,16:17:38,susanschnur,Kasey - do you know what time it showe up, in UTC?
10/04/2014,16:18:25,susanschnur,time when the low-sed part of the wall started
10/04/2014,16:18:48,michaelvecchione,is utc edt + 5?

10/04/2014,16:19:27,susanschnur,great thanks
10/04/2014,16:19:37,kaseycantwell,that was when the clean wall started 
10/04/2014,16:20:01,randalsinger,hes missing his left claw
10/04/2014,16:20:04,randalsinger,I think
10/04/2014,16:20:08,randalsinger,nvm
10/04/2014,16:20:10,randalsinger,I see it
10/04/2014,16:20:11,kaseycantwell,I am not sure when the lower part with lots of sediment started 
10/04/2014,16:20:24,susanschnur,ok, thats fine. I will go back in the videos and images later
10/04/2014,16:20:35,michaelvecchione,the egg would have been at 1610 utc
10/04/2014,16:21:02,randalsinger,black FSH
10/04/2014,16:21:05,randalsinger,can we zoom
10/04/2014,16:21:07,randalsinger,or too fast?
10/04/2014,16:21:33,susanschnur,I must have missed it - didnt see the fish
10/04/2014,16:21:55,okexnav,DEPTH :: 1316.0418 m,TEMP ::  4.07073 C
10/04/2014,16:23:06,randalsinger,its the sediments and food sources. must be good currents too
10/04/2014,16:23:59,susanschnur,Do you know about fishing or trawling pressure in this area? Are any of these canyons protected areas?
10/04/2014,16:25:10,randalsinger,canyons are quite hard to trawl in if I recall.
10/04/2014,16:25:24,randalsinger,mike would know more though he's got more trawling experience

10/04/2014,16:29:53,susanschnur,Another 5-10 minutes. IF we dont hit a solid wall we will end the dive as weather is building.
10/04/2014,16:30:07,susanschnur,If we find a good vertical cliff we will climb it.

10/04/2014,16:36:37,michaelvecchione,The only was to trawl in the canyons is right down the axis.
10/04/2014,16:37:14,okexnav,DEPTH :: 1295.1352 m,TEMP ::  4.25298 C
10/04/2014,16:37:35,michaelvecchione,There is also usually a lot of longline gear in the canyons to get in the way of trawlers
10/04/2014,16:37:36,susanschnur,I was jus thinking about whether trawling is reducing fish abundance in other canyons. Maybe this canyon has less fishing pressure.
10/04/2014,16:37:41,Scott France,Sargassum
10/04/2014,16:37:52,michaelvecchione,longline for swordfish
10/04/2014,16:38:01,randalsinger,doubtful susan. I think its just a good habitat
10/04/2014,16:38:28,randalsinger,most "food fish trawls" I think are a little bit shallower
10/04/2014,16:38:30,susanschnur,OK. Im wondering what sorts of management plans are in place for submarine canyons.
10/04/2014,16:38:46,randalsinger,little is any....
10/04/2014,16:38:49,randalsinger,*if
10/04/2014,16:39:22,Scott France,COR cup several clumps on wall
10/04/2014,16:40:15,susanschnur,Sounds like I missed the good part while I was at lunch.
10/04/2014,16:41:05,michaelvecchione,The Fisheries Management Counils are implementin protextion for deep coral and sponge habitat base in part on OkEx observations.

10/04/2014,16:47:39,randalsinger,*for
10/04/2014,16:48:03,randalsinger,wait yes neocyttus
10/04/2014,16:48:11,randalsinger,sry it has the taller dorsal fin
10/04/2014,16:49:05,Emily Duwan,yes I think necocytes helgae (false boarfish)

10/04/2014,16:49:47,susanschnur,We are going to come up off the bottom now. Winds are building. We have to end the dive.
10/04/2014,16:50:03,susanschnur,But we did make it almost to our planned waypoint 4
10/04/2014,16:50:36,randalsinger,great dive
10/04/2014,16:50:41,randalsinger,was a very fishy one
10/04/2014,16:51:12,Emily Duwan,dicrolene almost as abundant as synaphs today!
10/04/2014,16:51:23,randalsinger,exactly
10/04/2014,16:51:28,randalsinger,and halosaurs all over
10/04/2014,16:51:38,randalsinger,there must be alot of worms
10/04/2014,16:51:42,randalsinger,halosaurs love worms
10/04/2014,16:51:46,Emily Duwan,yes tons on the bottom
10/04/2014,16:52:22,randalsinger,we saw 10+ species of fish
10/04/2014,16:52:29,randalsinger,that might even be an understatement

10/04/2014,16:52:38,randalsinger,I was away fomr computer a bunch
10/04/2014,16:53:00,Emily Duwan,my count is 13, may have to group some together on further discussion with peter
10/04/2014,16:53:09,randalsinger,great
10/04/2014,16:53:43,thomasritter,thanks to the crew and science team for squeezing this one in today! good to see a fish-filled dive
10/04/2014,16:54:35,randalsinger,:)
10/04/2014,16:54:43,Emily Duwan,not as many different species as one of the other canyon dives, but a lot more abundant individuals
10/04/2014,16:54:59,randalsinger,exactly the number of individuals was veyr high
10/04/2014,16:55:48,Tim Shank,Thank you Scott and Susan.  Be well.

10/04/2014,16:57:50,randalsinger,thanks again guys!
10/04/2014,16:57:57,michaelvecchione,No midwater transects today.
10/04/2014,16:58:04,randalsinger,mike
10/04/2014,16:58:14,Scott France,So - no conference call - go enjoy your Saturday.
10/04/2014,16:58:16,Scott France,Mike...
10/04/2014,16:58:17,randalsinger,they hid a stomiiform the other say with a propellor
10/04/2014,16:58:17,susanschnur,Scott points out I should have hoped for 2 more dives.
10/04/2014,16:58:21,randalsinger,*hit
10/04/2014,16:58:26,susanschnur,I was pessimistic and hoped for 1 more.
10/04/2014,16:58:29,Scott France,We has planned for midwater horizontal transects...
10/04/2014,16:58:44,Scott France,but we are being told we need to recover with all due haste
10/04/2014,16:58:56,Scott France,so I'm afriad we have to put that off. Sorry
10/04/2014,16:59:01,michaelvecchione,I understand weather at sea
10/04/2014,16:59:08,Scott France,I don't!
10/04/2014,16:59:10,Scott France,;-)
10/04/2014,16:59:22,randalsinger,NOAA needs to designa  midwater ROV
10/04/2014,16:59:22,Scott France,But I understand your point.
10/04/2014,16:59:25,randalsinger,with like
10/04/2014,16:59:31,randalsinger,20 cameras 360 degrees
10/04/2014,16:59:46,randalsinger,and high speed props
10/04/2014,17:00:05,michaelvecchione,They have actually done some really nice midwater work with D2.
10/04/2014,17:00:17,randalsinger,I can imagine. the camera is insane
10/04/2014,17:00:23,Scott France,Perhaps a smaller ROV that could be more easily spun…?
10/04/2014,17:00:49,randalsinger,I think so
10/04/2014,17:01:12,randalsinger,also everyone would need a lot of coffee. there would be alot of time spent looking at blue
10/04/2014,17:01:38,randalsinger,but thats were the amazing fishes are: stomiiforms, angler fishes, lanturn fishes
10/04/2014,17:02:01,randalsinger,all the charismatic deep sea fishes
10/04/2014,17:02:39,susanschnur,Well, I've been thinking this whole time that what we need for broader geological studies is a very fast, small ROV that can zip around without the limitations of the ship tether. Then we would easily follow contacts for long distances.
10/04/2014,17:02:47,michaelvecchione,MBARI does it really well with both of their ROVs
10/04/2014,17:03:26,randalsinger,Harbor Branch did too
10/04/2014,17:03:32,randalsinger,when they were in thier hayday
