2015 ROV video survey in a deep-water environment at Cape Dyer, Nunavut, aboard CCGS Amundsen

A video-survey using a Super Mohawk remotely operated vehicle (ROV) was conducted in October 2015 in a site near Cape Dyer, Nunavut. The benthic environment was video-recorded and opportunistically photographed using a high-definition camera (1Cam Alpha, Sub C Imaging, 24.1 megapixels), at a depth of ~750 m along a transect line 935 m long.

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.
