Description:"The specific objectives of our research during Leg 3 were to: 1. collect baseline data on abundance, size, condition, and distribution of DSC on the Piggy Bank seamount; 2. quantify fish and invertebrate associations with DSC to help understand the value of DSC as habitat; 3. document environmental conditions of DSC habitats, including depth, sea floor substratum types, and seawater temperature, salinity, pH, and dissolved oxygen to help understand habitat factors that influence DSC distribution; and 4. collect specimens of DSC and associated organisms for confirmation of taxonomic identifications and for genetic, reproductive, and stable isotope analyses"--Page 2.
