2014-2015 ROV video surveys in deep-water environments at Scott Inlet, Nunavut, aboard CCGS Amundsen

In July 2014 and October 2015 a Super Mohawk (SuMo) remotely operated vehicle (ROV) aboard the CCGS Amundsen was used to video-survey a deep-water environment at Scott Inlet. In 2014, a video-transect ~2.7 km long was followed across depths of 475-650 m. Videos and photographs were obtained using a high-definition camera, and specimens of invertebrates (sponges) were collected using the ROV. In 2015, no transect was followed and the main objective was to sample carnivorous sponges using a sampling platform.

Purpose

The main purpose of these surveys was 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.
