[20:07:04] And good morning Emily and Asako and Chris! [20:07:07] Looks like it, Sara! [20:07:18] i think so too val! going to try to not scare them away [20:07:21] ;) [20:08:00] primnoid [20:08:12] Hi Val! Hi Chris, Sara! [20:08:17] Yeah, those loose rocks hide well if the ROV doesn't come up on them quietly, haha [20:08:28] emilypalmer leaves the room [20:10:28] Hi Steve! [20:10:33] Calyptrophora sp [20:11:19] Hello [20:11:40] Hi Steve! [20:11:55] I take that back. It could have been Narella bowersi. Planar, long segments after branching [20:12:00] LAT : 28.158105 , LON : 178.00783 , DEPTH : 2386.514 m, TEMP : 1.69449 C, SAL : 34.63516 PSU, DO : 3.31488 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [20:12:10] Hi Steve! [20:12:10] MeaganPutts leaves the room [20:12:23] I'm eyeballing that same rock [20:12:30] So many rocks [20:12:34] That sure looks like Narella bowersi [20:13:45] I will take as many rocks as we can get here, not gonna lie [20:13:51] lauraanthony leaves the room [20:13:52] Fantastic [20:13:57] across the course of the dive, anyway [20:14:31] unbranched bamboo [20:15:02] who is lonny leggy over there on the wall? [20:16:20] Tricky terrain [20:16:28] christophermah leaves the room [20:16:38] Looks like some good candidates in view [20:16:55] left one kinda angular near lazers?

Yeah, let's take a look [20:21:28] I agree with the pilots [20:21:42] fantastic [20:22:00] LAT : 28.158274 , LON : 178.007788 , DEPTH : 2388.2863 m, TEMP : 1.7 C, SAL : 34.63191 PSU, DO : 3.32717 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0549 FTU [20:22:30] christophermah leaves the room [20:23:10] talus upper left to center? [20:23:13] yes [20:23:21] perfect [20:23:36] Looks like you may get some small nodules with that sediment sample if taken here? [20:23:41] Or basalt frags, hard to tell [20:23:51] lindasunderland leaves the room [20:23:54] Definitely will but I am always worried about losing seds lol [20:24:05] val do you want the nodules too? I pick em out and save them [20:24:25] Those are good to archive. Kira Mizell at USGS may be interested in those [20:24:51] Ramuligorgia militaris [20:24:53] I like the one near center screen. Any of the large ones would be good here, I think [20:24:59] Perfec, can do [20:25:03] Thanks!! [20:25:13] oh yeah [20:25:40] Okay! we're doing it! [20:25:49] will give it a good look with the spin [20:26:27] That is a great rock! [20:26:41] Can't wait to see what its insides look like [20:27:01] LAT : 28.158214 , LON : 178.007619 , DEPTH : 2388.6292 m, TEMP : 1.69479 C, SAL : 34.63633 PSU, DO : 3.27672 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [20:27:05] Ramuligorgia militaris here? [20:27:37] yeah below the collection [20:28:15] Yay rock!! thanks val for the input!! [20:28:20] samcuellar leaves the room [20:28:37] this is the first R.militaris during this expedition? [20:28:39] MILITATIS [20:28:49] R. militaris [20:29:06] and "can't wait to see what its insides look like" - sayings that sound normal from a geologist but could also be a serial killer line [20:29:43] Thanks for the sampling! You're quite welcome! [20:29:57] I think Steve called one out earlier in the cruise Asako [20:30:58] oooo! possibly another one of those Caenopedina! COOL! [20:31:11] Chris, oh thank you! I didn't see it! [20:31:16] I get squeamish with biological insides, Sara! Quite happy to let those insides stay on the inside [20:31:20] I think those were being eaten by one of the stars we saw.. [20:31:25] FANtastic Chris Mah I thought you'd have an ID on the green urchin! I'll send you photos after this dive! [20:31:45] it's an echinoderm eat echinoderm world out here [20:32:01] LAT : 28.15815 , LON : 178.00761 , DEPTH : 2388.5586 m, TEMP : 1.6906 C, SAL : 34.63551 PSU, DO : 3.29465 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0549 FTU [20:32:07] I was looking thru pix today.. saw LOTS of urch spines and tests among the sediment. [20:32:21] so many urchin spines [20:32:35] !! oh DEF save those spines! [20:32:38] when it's dry I will do some picking thru! also some massive otoliths [20:32:42] You bet, I save everything! :-) [20:33:48] Also Steve and Kelly - I put aside subsamples in EtOH and formalin since I noted we had interesting meiofauna as well as some remnants of what look like DSL/mesopelagic organisms [20:34:28] chat-admin leaves the room [20:35:00] Thanks. If you have extra, maybe sediment in DNA Shield (same reagent as for eDNA) might be a good comparison to see what yields better results [20:35:18] Shield is a lysis buffer that preserves eDNA outside of the cell [20:35:30] thanks sara! [20:35:53] ah, steve I started drying it already... would that sed still be okay for DNA shield? [20:36:27] christophermah leaves the room [20:36:47] yes probably! [20:37:02] LAT : 28.158178 , LON : 178.007651 , DEPTH : 2389.2295 m, TEMP : 1.69479 C, SAL : 34.63413 PSU, DO : 3.31796 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0549 FTU [20:37:08] Just a thought if you have extra shield. It may improve the yield of DNA [20:37:34] Okay! I definitely have extra, can ask SDMs [20:38:39] emilypalmer leaves the room: Replaced by new connection [20:39:37] Sara or Brian.. if you see this.. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/maps/benthic-animal-guide/ one of my wish list critters! [20:39:57] Poliopogon sp [20:40:19] @ChrisM... the link only goes to the home page of the guide [20:40:56] here ya go https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/waf/okeanos-animal-guide/images/Pacific/Pacific_2015_AsteroideaOther097.jpg [20:41:16] nice!

[20:44:49] thank you! [20:45:52] Extra green maybe say something about the content of the murky water column here? [20:46:27] christophermah leaves the room [20:46:28] Chrysogorgia chryseis [20:46:34] Chrysogorgia [20:46:51] yeah I'm wondering if with the flecks and the green it's looking productive [20:47:03] LAT : 28.158375 , LON : 178.007487 , DEPTH : 2392.7142 m, TEMP : 1.71311 C, SAL : 34.63496 PSU, DO : 3.28609 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0549 FTU [20:47:32] Unbranched corals are Candidella gigantea [20:47:49] I think [20:48:09] Maybe not this one [20:48:12] unbranched bamboo [20:48:20] Lepidisis sp [20:48:25] bamboo [20:48:37] No sorry Brian, its a bamboo [20:48:50] lauraanthony leaves the room [20:48:55] Yes, Brian [20:49:02] Straight down [20:49:30] I think thiis is also bamboo [20:49:46] FeMn crusts look well-developed here [20:50:10] I think one of the smaller whips is Candidella [20:51:54] You are right Sara Bolosoma sp [20:52:04] LAT : 28.158254 , LON : 178.007353 , DEPTH : 2387.0854 m, TEMP : 1.7079 C, SAL : 34.63762 PSU, DO : 3.2643 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [20:52:26] Another Poliopogon on left? Chris K? [20:52:44] ophidiidae [20:52:46] Another type of Poliopogon sp [20:53:01] Hi Allen [20:53:04] oooo! Benthic combs! [20:53:07] Can we collect? [20:53:12] Tjalfiella relative [20:53:18] The benthic ctenophore. [20:53:28] collect? [20:53:33] okay great [20:53:50] Sister group of Tjalfiella seems to be restricted to glass sponges [20:53:55] Tjalfiella [20:53:59] Hi Allen! [20:54:04] If no collect, we can look for others. [20:54:06] Hi Meagan" [20:54:07] Hello! [20:54:11] We have seen the Tjalfiella on corals as well [20:54:13] yes to sponge too [20:54:15] Yes, if you collect, please sponge too. [20:54:20] Hi Asako! [20:55:05] Funny looking coral fan to left of yellow bolosoma [20:55:12] As always, totally up to you guys, If not possible, all good. [20:55:15] this is a very soft sponge you can easily rip off the piece with the Tjalfiella [20:55:54] we will make all the efforts we can for the science! [20:56:02] It is like Tjalfiella, but different. If collecting is possible, that is awesome. Thanks. [20:56:10] is it possible the suction is strong enuf to pull off the sponge? [20:56:54] probably [20:57:00] cutting is safer [20:57:04] LAT : 28.158504 , LON : 178.007237 , DEPTH : 2390.6946 m, TEMP : 1.7164 C, SAL : 34.63349 PSU, DO : 3.22204 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [20:57:28] So far just two species of deep benthic ctenophores have been described. But Nick Bezio and others are working on quite a few new species based on these samples. Thanks so much for going for this. [20:59:25] Will the ctenophore be 04B or 04BA01? Hah. Make the ctenophore the primary specimen. Just kidding!!! [20:59:55] I think we most likely will make the cteophore the primary [20:59:57] Allen, do you know about the purple Tjalfiella that Brian and I collected in Palau laster year? There was a high density of them growing over Chrysogorgia colonies [21:00:02] 04B - sponge is 04BA01 [21:00:47] ctenophore deserves to be the star of the show! [21:01:05] Piece in genetics if possible. [21:01:11] Great collect. [21:01:32] Most in formalin. Maybe just the top of the "arm" in ethanol [21:01:41] MeaganPutts leaves the room [21:01:41] emilypalmer leaves the room [21:02:05] LAT : 28.158566 , LON : 178.007193 , DEPTH : 2390.7915 m, TEMP : 1.7006 C, SAL : 34.63509 PSU, DO : 3.22869 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [21:02:17] can do. do these do poorly on surface? [21:02:39] I assume yes :) [21:03:44] TBH, very excited about that sponge too. I think it is another Poliopogon. Looks like polyps may be in the sponge [21:03:54] Like hydroid polyps? [21:03:58] I was about to ask about that! [21:04:06] Just took a note so I remember to take a close look. [21:04:20] I image all the small associates I see on the scope onboard (tho image quality varies) [21:04:28] christophermah leaves the room [21:05:08] MeaganPutts leaves the room [21:05:11] Yay. Thanks Sara. [21:05:56] Just a single hydroid species is described as associated wtih glass sponges (so far I recall), but hydroids are often in them. [21:06:26] sarakahanamoku leaves the room [21:06:43] wow! awesome, love knowing what nooks and crannies to look in! [21:06:57] ha ha. one of our okeanos followers on Bluesky just said she needed "to remember ot breathe during these suspenseful collections."!!

Okay! [21:10:42] Very nice [21:12:01] To tell its Narella, the polyps have 3 scales along the body and the polyps close facing down [21:12:06] LAT : 28.158468 , LON : 178.007211 , DEPTH : 2389.7309 m, TEMP : 1.70526 C, SAL : 34.63412 PSU, DO : 3.27598 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0672 FTU [21:12:13] Munnopsidae [21:12:25] Those are so cool [21:12:27] christophermah leaves the room [21:12:56] squashed rather than squished. [21:13:14] lol [21:14:27] christophermah leaves the room [21:14:38] Caulophacus [21:15:02] Caulophacus (Caulodiscus) sp [21:15:19] or just Caulophacus [21:15:28] One of the truths of ROV dives is that there is pretty much always something interesting at saddle points in the bathy, and this one was no exception to that [21:15:39] Paelopetides? [21:15:46] Nematocarcinus sp shrimp [21:16:09] in the family Synallactidae [21:16:15] and tiny squat lobster [21:16:58] emilypalmer leaves the room [21:17:07] LAT : 28.158467 , LON : 178.006995 , DEPTH : 2387.988 m, TEMP : 1.70425 C, SAL : 34.6343 PSU, DO : 3.30626 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0672 FTU [21:17:09] In the guide as also Paelopatides sp? in that family [21:17:35] Anna subbing in for Brian for lunch [21:17:37] Shoreside just to let you know, we are having some issues with Seirios so will be going a little slow right now. [21:17:42] Still making our way up ridge but troubleshooting onthe way. [21:17:47] Regadrella vase sponge [21:18:15] christophermah leaves the room [21:18:15] this one poliopgon [21:18:26] the one to the right is regadrella [21:18:36] Good video [21:18:41] those are some serious antennae? [21:18:43] I think it is the same. Thanks [21:18:56] Tentacles without tentilla. [21:18:58] i think its the same as what we collected [21:19:02] Ahh, thanks [21:19:05] It lives on top of the sponge. [21:19:22] Most ctenophores with tentacles have tentilla. [21:20:02] Super nice. close up. [21:20:16] Yes, they can retract the tentacles. [21:20:46] MeaganPutts leaves the room [21:20:51] They brood their embryos. [21:21:04] If there is a way to guesstimate the length, that would be great. [21:21:32]
