Underwater video recordings during mesopelagic trawls in the Northeast Atlantic
During three cruises in the Mid Atlantic Ridge area in 2016 and 2017, we collected samples of mesopelagic species down to a depth of 600 m. We studied fish behaviour and identified and quantified the species composition of the catches using HD videos (60 frames/s). For species identification and the estimation of the number of siphonophores/m³ we analysed the videos frame by frame using the tool VLC media player.
