The power cable to the Oregon Shelf (80m) bioacoustic sonar was so covered with anemones it was difficult to find and detach! Credit: UW/NSF-OOI/WHOI, V19

The Oregon Shelf hydrophone (underwater microphone) apparently became a popular gathering place for fish (lingcod) during the past year. Photo Credit: UW/NSF-OOI/WHOI, V19

Tunicates (aka sea squirts) covering the lamp of the Oregon Shelf digital still camera. Tunicates are chordates that start life as a swimming, fish-like animal and then settle on a surface and become sessile (attached) organisms that filter food out of the water flowing by.
