2017 ROV video survey in a deep-water environment at Pond Inlet (Qikiqtaaluk) aboard CCGS Amundsen

A video-survey using a Super Mohawk remotely operated vehicle (ROV) was conducted in July 2017 at Pond Inlet, Nunavut. The benthic environment was video-recorded and opportunistically photographed using a high-definition camera (1Cam Alpha, Sub C Imaging, 24.1 megapixels), starting at a depth of 850 m. Samples of corals and sponges were collected, mainly for studies of biodiversity and geochemistry. Soft corals, sponges, and sea anemones were conspicuous at this site.

Purpose

The primary purpose of the ROV survey at this site was to investigate the benthic fauna biodiversity at a site near Pond Inlet, in a deep-water, steep rock walls environment. A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) was used to video survey this site, and to selectively collect samples of corals and sponges for biodiversity and geochemical studies.
