Sampling locations and identifications for larvae collected near three deep-sea hydrothermal vent fields from 2007 to 2017

Abstract:

This dataset provides the sampling locations and identifications for larvae collected near three deep-sea hydrothermal vent fields and used in a microbiome study by Carrier et al. (2021). This dataset provides metadata for larval and microbiome genetic sequence data in another repository (Carrier et al., 2021, doi.org/10.5061/dryad.sqv9s4n18). The data table is structured as a Darwin Core occurrence table so that it can be harvested by the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) and Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). In addition to the data table, photographs are provided for some of the specimens.

Description

Larvae were collected near three different hydrothermal vent fields with locality, Location, and waterBody (N. Pacific) specified in the data: East Pacific Rise, 9 50 N vent field, Tica vent site at N EPR; Mariana Back-Arc, Snail and Archaean vent fields in Mariana Trough; and Pescadero Basin, Auka vent field in Gulf of California.

Methods & Sampling

Larval collection:
These larvae were collected near hydrothermal vent fields on the East Pacific Rise (EPR 9°50'N vent field), on the Mariana Back-Arc Spreading Center (near Snail or Archaean vent fields), and in Pescadero Basin (Auka vent field) in the Gulf of California. The EPR specimens were from McLane WTS-LV50 plankton pumps deployed on-axis near Tica vent site on LADDER 3 cruise AT15-26 in 2007. The pump sampled for 24 hr over a 63 micron mesh at a rate of 30 L/min at a position about 3 meters above bottom. The Mariana specimens were from the same plankton pumps with same configuration deployed on-site or off-site but within 300 m of active hydrothermal vents on R/V Yokosuka cruise YK10-11 in 2010. The Pescadero specimens were from the suction (slurp) sampler on ROV Hercules on E/V Nautilus cruise NA091 in 2017. The slurp sampled for 10 min over a 63 micron mesh at a rate of ~100 L/min at a position about 1 meter above bottom, while the ROV was parked on-site at an active vent ("intensive sampling station", or ISS). ISS 2 was during ROV dive H1657, and ISS 4 was during ROV dive H1658.

We acknowledge the sample collection permits CONAPESCA PPFE/DGOPA-010/17 and INEGI: Autorización EG0072017 associated to the Diplomatic Note number SRE 17-1087 (CTC/06727/17).

Shipboard sample processing:
Pump and slurp samples were processed within an hour upon recovery on deck, with many specimens alive. The sample was washed off the filter using 95% non-denatured ethanol into a 250 mL jar (brand new or rinsed with ethanol, but was not autoclaved).

Laboratory sorting and morphological identification:
Portions of the sample were extracted with a wide-mouthed pipette into a petri dish for sorting under a dissecting scope at magnifications up to 50X (although most tools were rinsed with ethanol, none were autoclaved). Specimens were sorted into vials by major taxa (i.e., all the gastropod larvae together), in some cases with separate vials for those retained on 300um or 63um sieve. Vials were brand new or rinsed with ethanol, but were not autoclaved. Individuals were identified to morphotypes at lowest taxonomic level. Some morphotypes contain morphologically indistinguishable larvae from multiple species (e.g., polychaete nectochaetes).

Specimens selected for DNA extraction:
We selected specimens in several major taxonomic groups (gastropods, polychaetes, crustaceans, and a bivalve) for DNA extraction. The amount of time the larval specimens had been stored in ethanol at the time of DNA extraction was ~10, ~7, and ~1 yrs, respectively, for EPR, Mariana, and Pescadero specimens. Only the Mariana specimens had been stored at 4 degrees C, while the others were at room temperature. Working in a laminar flow hood, we used sterile techniques to place 25 individuals from EPR and 25 individuals from Mariana into separate 1.5 mL vials with 95% ethanol. We thank Diana Franks for helping with sterile techniques. Pescadero specimens were provided in 2 vials each with 5 individuals of the same morphotype using sterile tools but not in a laminar flow hood.

DNA extraction and amplification are described by Carrier et al. (2021), and 28S rRNA larval genetic sequences and 16S rRNA bacterial genetic sequence data are in the Dryad repository (Carrier et al., 2021, doi.org/10.5061/dryad.sqv9s4n18). The 28S larval sequences were compared to those in the NCBI GenBank database using a BLAST search to assist with matching morphotypes to lowest taxonomic level. Results from the BLAST search were insufficient to provide additional taxonomic resolution; therefore, the 28S genetic results were primarily used as support for the morphological identification. We'd like to thank Bethany Fleming for conducting the BLAST searches.

Additional genetic evidence to assist with larval identification:
We'd like to thank Dr. Hiroka Hidaka, Dr. Shigeaki Kojima, and Dr. Hiromi Watanabe for providing histone 3 and Dr. Florence Pradillon for providing cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) sequences for other Mariana larval specimens from the same collections. The Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding provided CO1 sequences for other Pescadero specimens from the same collections; these results may be viewed in the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD) Public Data Portal using the project search PESPL.

Data Processing Description

Data Processing:
The raw data table was created in a Google spreadsheet which was imported directly into a script that removed extraneous columns, added an asterisk to 6 of the TubeIDs, constrained the latitude and longitude to 4 decimal places, and exported the table to a comma-separated values file: https://github.com/sbeaulieu/EPR-traits/blob/master/subset_Google_Sheet_BCODMO_Beaulieu_Carrier.R. The data table is structured as a Darwin Core occurrence table so that it can be harvested by the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) and Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). Note for the column linking to the microbiome genetic sequence data in the Dryad repository, we considered using the Darwin Core term associatedOrganisms but found other studies in which the link to microbiome data was made using an Occurrence Core with an extension for ResourceRelationships.

McLane Large Volume Pumping System WTS-LV

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: McLane Large Volume Pumping System WTS-LV

Acronym: WTS-LV

Generic Description:

The WTS-LV is a Water Transfer System (WTS) Large Volume (LV) pumping instrument designed and manufactured by McLane Research Labs (Falmouth, MA, USA). It is a large-volume, single-event sampler that collects suspended and dissolved particulate samples in situ.

Ambient water is drawn through a modular filter holder onto a 142-millimeter (mm) membrane without passing through the pump. The standard two-tier filter holder provides prefiltering and size fractioning. Collection targets include chlorophyll maximum, particulate trace metals, and phytoplankton. It features different flow rates and filter porosity to support a range of specimen collection. Sampling can be programmed to start at a scheduled time or begin with a countdown delay. It also features a dynamic pump speed algorithm that adjusts flow to protect the sample as material accumulates on the filter. Several pump options range from 0.5 to 30 liters per minute, with a max volume of 2,500 to 36,000 liters depending on the pump and battery pack used. The standard model is depth rated to 5,500 meters, with a deeper 7,000-meter option available. The operating temperature is -4 to 35 degrees Celsius.

The WTS-LV is available in four different configurations: Standard, Upright, Bore Hole, and Dual Filter Sampler. The high-capacity upright WTS-LV model provides three times the battery life of the standard model. The Bore-Hole WTS-LV is designed to fit through a narrow opening such as a 30-centimeter borehole. The dual filter WTS-LV features two vertical intake 142 mm filter holders to allow simultaneous filtering using two different porosities.

ROV Hercules

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

ROV Hercules multi-chamber slurp sampler was used to collect specimens

Instrument Type

Generic Name: ROV Hercules

Generic Description:

ROV Hercules is operated via E/V Nautilus. Hercules is outfitted with features that allow it to perform intricate tasks, including two manipulator arms, a variety of sensors and samplers, a high-definition video camera, several LED lights, and high-resolution mapping tools. The submersible receives power from the surface through a fiber-optic cable, which also transmits data and video, to allow pilots located in the shipboard control van to "fly" the ROV in any direction through the use of its six thrusters. Other sensors located on Hercules measure pressure, depth, water temperature, oxygen concentration, and salinity to accommodate requests from scientists both onboard and onshore. Hercules is equipped with multiple cameras, including the high-definition video camera that allows for real-time telepresence.

The ROV is built to withstand pressures at a depth of 4,000 meters with more than 6,000 pound-force per square inch (psi) for up to three days. See more: https://nautiluslive.org/tech/rov-hercules
