Fauna of deep-sea canyon systems on the Irish Atlantic Margin: preliminary results of cruise CE13006 aboard RV Celtic Explorer: 
















We report on
preliminary faunal results from cruise CE13006 aboard RV Celtic Explorer to two
canyon systems on the Celtic Margin. The first canyon system is north of the Porcupine
Seabight and descends from the continental shelf to the Rockall Trough at about
3,000 m depth. The second is the Whittard Canyon, at 5,000 m. We explored both
canyons with a deep-water ROV rated to 3,000 m, recording high-definition video
footage of each dive, but also collecting fauna with manipulator arms and with
a slurp sampler. Both canyons have cold-water coral abundant on steep sides at
shallower depths and both have vertical walls at several locations.
