Day 12 R/V Point Sur

Day 11 runs right into Day 12. . .

Our first 3000 meter trawl was sent out at 1:00 am. It was brought back up at 5:30 am.



The second 3000 meter trawl was released at 7:00 am, and was brought back up around 11:00 am.









The camera and respirometer were both recovered today. The respirometer was successful again! All four chamber doors were closed, and there was one fish in a chamber.





It was a beautiful day and night!





Mariah is so excited to hear that her trawl shift will be 3am-9am!! There will be two late trawls both at 2000 meters.



It was a long day with late night trawls. Some of us took little naps along the way.
