Today marks the final day of sampling for the Jelly Farm
cruise 2015!
The Masfjorden sediment trap was deployed to 480 m. Like the Lurefjorden trap, a new sample bottle will be automatically switched every 14 days, and then the trap collected after a year on the sea floor. Scavenger traps containing mackerel bait were also deployed, as the yo-yo frame yesterday did not haul up any scavengers. The sample net with attached traps brought up a few hagfish, which were bagged and frozen for isotope analysis.
