2014 ROV video survey in a deep-water environment at Home Bay, Nunavut, aboard CCGS Amundsen

In July 2014 a Super Mohawk (SuMo) remotely operated vehicle (ROV) aboard the CCGS Amundsen was used to video-survey a deep-water environment at Home Bay. A video-transect ~2.2 km long was followed across depths of 700-750 m. Videos and photographs were obtained using a high-definition camera, and specimens of invertebrates (sponges) were collected using the ROV.

Purpose

The main purpose of these surveys were to identify previously unknown invertebrate and fish biodiversity and previously under-sampled habitat types in the Canadian Arctic. Steep and deep hard-bottom environments are the main focus of the video-surveys, as these environments cannot be sampled effectively using box-cores or trawls.
