Objectives: With the overall goal of surveying and describing the biodiversity of the bathypelagic fauna near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a team of biological oceanographers and taxonomists will conduct a program having the following objectives:
1. Participate in an international exploration of the non-hydrothermal ecosystems of the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge, focusing on the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone;
2. Survey the bathypelagic and benthopelagic nekton using midwater and bottom trawls and hydroaccoustic methods, with concurrent sampling of environmental factors (i.e. depth, hydrography) and topographic characters for distributional analysis to examine temporal changes by comparison with the results of a Norwegian cruise on R/V G.O. Sars in 2004;
3. Collect, sort, identify, and curate whole specimens and tissue collections for future analysis;
4. Assemble a database of species, species abundance/distribution, as well as specimens and photographs of freshly collected specimens;
5. Provide research opportunities and training in taxonomy, systematics and field oceanographic techniques for students and professional researchers;
6. As an auxiliary objective, a marine mammal observer will conduct a visual survey of mammals, turtles and birds during daylight hours when weather permits.
The overall goal is to survey and describe the biodiversity of the bathypelagic fauna near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Kongsberg/Simrad .raw files are generated by ME70, EK60 or ES60 instruments. They contain power and optionally angular position data with each beam/frequency identified by an independent channel. See the Simrad interface specification manual for further information. The .wcd files are generated by Kongsberg EM302 or EM122 instruments. See Kongsberg documentation for more information.

Simrad EK60
singlebeam
The Simrad EK60 Scientific Sounder system is a new generation fishery researchtool, based on experience from the EK500. The new electronic hardware is combined with up to date PC processing and Windows operation. The EK60 provides facilities for accurate echo sounding, data storage, data analysis and reporting results. The system communication is through Ethernet, which gives flexibility in the location of the EK60 system units and allows easy access to data from other instruments or stations on a vessel network. A post processing software, BI60, is also included in the EK60 system.

Simrad ME70
multibeam
The Simrad ME70 is a high resolution scientific multibeam echo sounder
with very low sidelobe levels. It is dedicated for collection of data in the water
column. The multibeam echo sounder combines the large and flexible sampling volume of
the multibeam swath with the accuracy of the quantitative scientific echo sounder. A
bathymetric option is also available to provide a high resolution seabed mapping
capability, and the possibility to study the fish habitat.
