Statement

Sample equipment types used included: Photographic Site. ERT (Scotland) Ltd was contracted to undertake the survey on behalf of Joint Nature Conservation Committee. The camera system used was the Seatronics DTS6000 deployed from the RV Aora. The camera system included a Konsberg Simrad OE14-208 Digital Stills Camera System (5 Megapixel) and Kongsberg OE14266/1366MK2 Colour Video Camera (460 TVL) with four 35 W HID lights. For accurate camera positioning fixing the system used a Sonardyne Scout USBL. Camera drops of up to 10 to 15 minutes were recorded to collect information on the main substrata and to identify conspicuous epifauna and assess abundance across the northern area of the AoS. Digital still photographs were taken at 1 minute intervals at each station to show ground type and additional photographs were taken of conspicuous epifauna/rocky substrata. For more detailed information see the Cruise Report.
