Benthic biota samples were taken at 6 potential seep, 5 volcanic seamount, and 3 deep outcropping rock sites. Epibenthic biota were collected using the beam trawl, epibenthic sled and rock dredge; macro-infauna were extracted by elutriation of sediment collections taken using the ICP and the Smith-MacIntyre grab. The invertebrate specimens were identified to operational taxonomic units (OTU) and photographed on board and shipped to Museum Victoria, from where selected taxa were distributed to taxonomic experts for identification. Macro-infauna samples were sorted to OTU in the lab and specimens treated the same as epifauna for further identification. Specimens were distributed to various Museum collections (including SAMA, NMV, AMS) for registration and curation.
