Rolling in the Deep

We had a great second day out on the water. Last night we caught some neat myctophids in the ring net.

Mike, Kim and Chris also had good luck with the dip nets at night! Here is one of the flyingfish they caught.

Today we completed stations 15-24 which finished our first transect. We caught tuna, billfish, flying fish, and a dolphinfish. This is one of the larval tunas.

Now we are traveling to the beginning of our second transect, which is about a 7 hour steam. We will be ready to start sampling at dawn tomorrow!
