"The missions of SE 14-05 were to: 1) Conduct deepwater coral reef fish surveys using 4 BRUVS from the PIFSC SE-6 SafeBoat. 2) Conduct deep-slope bottomfish handline bio-sampling operations from the OMAO SE-4 Northwind and the OES to obtain scientific specimens of eteline snappers, epinepheline groupers, and other bottomfish species for life history studies. Efforts to document any depredation or other interactions with sharks during these operations will be conducted using GoPro cameras mounted to poles and fishing lines. 3) Conduct fish, invertebrate and algae sampling for the University of Guam Barcode of Life project and other research programs from OMAO SE-2. 4) Conduct sea trial tests of the new towed tetrahedral hydrophone array. 5) Conduct trolling operations to document shark depredation from the OES. 6) Conduct fish and invertebrate trapping for specimen collection. 7) Conduct one midwater 6-foot IK tow per night adjacent to Guam and the offshore banks. 8) Conduct a nightly drifting nightlight/dipnet and light tackle fishing operations."
