2016 ROV video surveys (Dives 50-51) in a deep-water environment at Hatton Basin (Labrador, Canada) aboard CCGS Amundsen

Video surveys were conducted in July 2016 aboard CCGS Amundsen, using a Super Mohawk remotely operated vehicle (ROV) at Hatton Basin, Labrador (Canada). ROV dives occurred at two nearby sites (~28 km apart) in the Hatton Basin area (Dives 50 and 51). The benthic environment was video-recorded and photographed using a high-definition camera (1Cam Alpha, Sub C Imaging, 24.1 megapixels) mounted on the ROV, at depths ranging between 556-633 m. ROV transects were conducted to collect video data, and samples of corals and sponges were also collected during dive 51. Box-cores were deployed at the two sites. Sea water was collected at several depth intervals from surface to near-bottom to characterize particulate organic matter and to determine calcium carbonate saturation.
