(peppy music)
- [ROV Pilot] Oh crab.
Nope.
- [Navigator] Crab!
Deploy the bait trap.
- [Scientist 1] Drop the bait.
- [Scientist 2] Boy, that's a big crab.
- [Navigator] Stew Crab, would you like a snack?
Sounds like a riddle.
- [Scientist 2] So these crabs were nowhere in sight
when we had the bait trap out.
- [Scientist] Yeah.
- [Scientist 1] He's just sitting there too.
- [Scientist 2] They are here though.
- [Scientist] Well, dig the trap back up.
But, oh, we don't have enough time.
- [ROV Pilot] Your call, Ian.
- No, no. - Okay.
- [Scientist] The minute we do, it'll be like,
okay, we're ready to start moving.
- [Navigator] Yeah.
- [Scientist 2] So what type of a flounder
do you think we're looking at here?
- [Scientist 1] Those things are odd looking.
- [ROV Pilot] Come forward a little bit for you, Mary.
There we go. - [Scientist 3] Can you send
the mark coordinates right away?
- [Man] Yeah, we can.
- [ROV Pilot] What?
- Ooh, hello. - Torpedo.
- [Navigator] Nautilus here.
(indistinct radio communication)
- [ROV Pilot] A rockfish?
- [Navigator] Mm hmm.
Ooh.
That's a nice color.
- [Scientist 2] It's like blink blink.
- [Navigator] All right.
- [Scientist 1] They're such a pretty color.
Oh, look, we got another shrimp over there.
- [ROV Pilot] Look at it swim.
- [Scientist 1] All night.
- [ROV Pilot] Let's zoom video.
Very translucent
- [Scientist 2] So that looks like another sea cucumber.
- [Navigator] Copy that, standby.
- [Scientist 3] They are cool.
- [Navigator] I'm gonna have them
do a hundred meter steps again.
- [ROV Pilot] Sure, all right.
Zoom wide video.
- [Scientist 2] I never saw that many little feet on it.
- [Navigator] And if you start getting tough to video,
we'll change it up.
- [ROV Pilot] Yeah, sounds good.
- [Scientist 3] Linda from the Netherlands
has been IDing a bunch of the organisms we're seeing,
including the common and Latin name.
Great job, Linda.
- Right on. - Thanks.
- [Scientist 3] She's noticed the grooved Tanner crab,
just like we did.
And is describing the flounder as a rex sole.
And the rock fish that we just looked at as well.
Keep it up, Linda.
- [Scientist 1] Just laying there collecting food.
- [Scientist 2] Mallory, what did you suggest
as a link for our citizen science?
- [Mallory] I think SubseaObservers is one of them,
but there's a large compilation
of citizen science programs under Galaxy Zoo.
- [Scientist 2] Okay.
- [Mallory] And that's one where people can go
and look at safari photos or galaxy photos,
or I'm pretty sure there are some under-sea initiatives.
There are couple of different
international organizations on there.
- [Scientist 1] Oh, we woke him up.
- [Scientist 2] Thanks, Mallory
- [Mallory] Mm hmm.
- [Scientist 2] Is this our giant Pacific octopus?
- Yes, ma'am. - Yup.
Rawr.
- Oh. - There he goes.
- [Scientist 1] They look so different when they swim,
and then suddenly they're all legs.
- [Navigator] Evil octopus.
- [Scientist 1] You little stinker
(all laugh)
- [Mallory] Did everyone see the story about the octopus
that escaped from the New Zealand aquarium?
- (all) Yes!
- [Scientist 2] So neat!
- [Scientist] Another flounder
- [Navigator] Flounder.
- [Scientist 1] It's another flounder.
- [Navigator] He has a sail.
- [Scientist 1] I guess that was his spot.
- [Scientist 2] Kirk sent in the link to
ONC citizen science page, which you can find on
oceannetworks.ca/learning/citizenscience,
so anyone who would like to get involved that way.
That's through the Ocean Networks Canada website,
and as Mallory was saying, there are a number
of citizen science opportunities out there.
If you are interested in looking at some underwater footage
and helping to identify what you're seeing.
And now we have
another anemone on the back of some type of gastropod snail.
It is attached again this time?
- [Navigator] Or is it eating it this time?
- [Scientist 2] Yeah. (laughs)
- [Scientist 1] There's an octopus.
- [Scientist 2] We have been doing some sightseeing.
- [Scientist 1] Sorry, buddy, we don't have time.
- [Scientist 2] Nope, we're gonna drive right by.
So right now, Hercules is going back over
to some of the cables that we have located
and identified earlier this morning,
and we're going to hook up some machinery
to the cables to help the cable ship Wave Venture
bring them up to the surface
in order to repair them on deck.
These fiber optic cables that have been down for some time
as we help in the massive repair of the Neptune observatory.
- [Navigator] Thank you let's continue
with another hundred meter step.
One zero zero meters, same bearing.
