Today's blog was written by ADEON lead PI, Jen Miksis-Olds. Yesterday we deployed bottom lander #5 on the Blake Plateau in approximately 900 m of water. The evening was spent doing net tows and fine scale acoustic surveys to get more information about the small marine life in the water. During daylight hours, the day watch rotates through 90 min marine mammal observation (MMO) shifts. The MMO shifts have been a disappointment the past 2-3 days.
Today’s blog is written by Sebastian Velez, MS graduate student at Florida Atlantic University. It is exciting to have Sebastian out sailing with ADEON because 1) it is extra hands to work up samples, and 2) Sebastian is a bridge between ADEON and a related sister National Oceanographic Partnership Program project called DEEP SEARCH.

Today marks the completion of our first full week at sea. The weather's been great (sea-state 2, small waves, light wind for today) and the cooks keep providing fresh salads, two veggies, and two main courses PLUS dessert for each meal.

The night watch crew had quite the enjoyable Thanksgiving on the R/V Armstrong, from finding squid in our trawl net (one of my favorite animal groups!) in the early hours of the morning, to a giant buffet in the galley for Thanksgiving dinner – or for us, Thanksgiving breakfast.

Today, we started the acoustic survey and the trawl survey. Despite incorrectly mounting the flow meter, the first trawl deployment was successful at a depth of 60 meters. Some of the more interesting animals included moray eel larvae, lobster larvae, flatfish larvae, mantis shrimp larvae, squid, deep-sea fish and a small fish with spines on its head with black and red spots that we could not yet identify.
