NIWA/ Oceans Survey 20/20 Chatham-Challenger expedition
A short tow later, station 42 of the 2007 Chatham/Challenger expedition across the same area reveals what we have (and have not) been seeing on the DTIS images. We collected a few larger starfish, cup corals and soft corals, quill worms, snails and hermit crabs and a suite of smaller critters. In all 50 different species were collected from a short tow on this site! Most of these would be invisible to the camera.
