2017 ROV video survey in a deep-water environment at Disko Fan (SE Baffin Bay) aboard CCGS Amundsen

A benthic survey using a Super Mohawk remotely operated vehicle (ROV) was conducted in July 2017 at Disko Fan, SE Baffin Bay. The benthic environment was video-recorded and opportunistically photographed using a high-definition camera (1Cam Alpha, Sub C Imaging, 24.1 megapixels), at a water depth of ~930 m. An experimental frame deployed in 2016 was recovered during this ROV dive, but no other collections took place at this site during this dive.

Purpose

The Remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dive at this site had three main objectives: (1) to recover a recruitment experiment deployed in 2016, and to deploy another similar experiment; (2) to collect dead coral fragments from the path of a 1999 trawl survey to assess natural coral recruitment and coral forest recovery from trawl disturbance, and (3) to carry out a video survey to increasing depth to assess the lower depth limit of the bamboo coral forest.
