Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

We mounted a GoPro Hero 4 (4K, 30fps) in a deep-water housing (GoDeep Aluminum, Sexton Inc.) and two 7500 lumen lights (BigBlue VL7500P) to the ship’s onboard CTD rosette frame. At each station, simultaneous CTD and camera deployments captured fine-scale (1 m), in situ counts of pyrosomes to 100 m, or 5 m above the bottom at shallower stations. Camera frames were subsequently analyzed to determine pyrosome distributions with depth. For each meter of depth, we extracted a still frame from the camera and counted all pyrosome colonies. We adjusted this count by subtracting colonies that were visible in the still frame of the previous meter to avoid double-counts.

In situ videos were captured using a GoPro Hero 4 (4K, 30fps) in a deep-water housing (GoDeep Aluminum, Sexton Inc.) with two 7500 lumen lights (BigBlue VL7500P) mounted to the ship’s onboard CTD rosette frame. Video was aligned to depth information captured by the CTD (SBE 911).

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Videos were processed using VirtualDub. Depth information was extracted from CTD files using SBE data processing (v.7.26.6).

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird 911

Supplied Name: CTD (SBE 911)

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird 911

Acronym: CTD SBE 911

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0035/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 911 is a type of CTD instrument package. The SBE 911 includes the SBE 9 Underwater Unit and the SBE 11 Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) for deployment from a vessel. The combination of the SBE 9 and SBE 11 is called a SBE 911. The SBE 9 uses Sea-Bird's standard modular temperature and conductivity sensors (SBE 3 and SBE 4). The SBE 9 CTD can be configured with auxiliary sensors to measure other parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorescence, light (PAR), light transmission, etc.).
