Description
Both legs of the cruise focused on chevron fish trap and underwater video camera deployments, and Leg 1 of the cruise also included sonar mapping operations. Traps with attached video cameras were deployed at a variety of stations in the U.S. South Atlantic. Traps had a single line connected to two surface buoys. Multibeam echosounder (ME70) and XBT/CTD data collection operations were carried out at night, and all other operations (trapping with attached underwater video and CTD) during the day, with the exception of split-beam (EK60) surveys, which were carried out during both day and night.
