Station S42

The R/V Gyre arrived on Station S42 at 21:39 on June 9, 2000 and we finished all sampling at 8:39 GMT on June 10, 2000. The sampling procedures went quickly for this 763 m deep station which is located on the West Florida Terrace. The trawl catch was quite abundant and diverse and included a total of 77 fish representing 13 species. The attached picture (A) features a big squid from the trawl. The underwater digital camera captured images representing diverse topography featuring large mounds and deep craters at the bottom of this station.
