We went on two one-day trips with the R/V “Hans Brattstrøm” in March, here’s a collection of snapshots from the sunny day of surveying.

This is one of the species we found, and – apart from being nice and photogenic – it is also interesting as it is a rather new species, described in 2010. You can read more about that here:
