The image above shows a 5-gallon bucket filled with the contents of a deep net sample (750-1000 m). The red and pink shapes are jellyfish (Atolla<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Periphylla<\/em>), three of them intact and one broken to pieces during the sampling. The orange things toward the upper right that look like a pair of eyes are an unusually large form of ostracod crustaceans (Gigantocyprhis<\/em><\/a>). From these tows, it looks like most of the copepods were pretty deep at this station\u2026around 300 m\u2026deeper than I sometimes sample. They can\u2019t hide from me!<\/p>\n Since these were our last tows, the lab group took apart the nets after we were done, and piled them up in the aquarium room. We\u2019re starting to clean things up, pack away bits of gear and plan out our last days in the field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" February 2, 2019 (Note: this is #26 in a series of posts describing my NSF-sponsored fieldwork in Antarctica aboard the Laurence M.
