    Abstract
    Recent advances in underwater robotics and imaging technology now enable the rapid acquisition of large datasets of near-bottom high-resolution digital imagery. These images provide the potential for developing a non-invasive technique for fisheries data acquisition that reveals the organisms in their natural habitat and can be used to identify important habitat characteristics. Using these large datasets effectively, however, requires the development of computer-based techniques that increase the efficiency of data analysis. This document describes one such tool, FISH_ROCK, which was developed for a group of fisheries researchers using the SeaBED AUV during a research cruise in October 2005. FISH_ROCK is a graphical user interface (GUI) that is executed within Matlab, and allows users digitally generate a database that includes organism identification, quantity, size and distribution as well as details about their habitat. Further development of this GUI will enable its use in different oceanographic environments including the deep sea, and will include modules that perform data analysis.

      The distribution of benthic biomass in hadal trenches : a modelling approach to investigate the effect of vertical and lateral organic matter transport to the seafloor 

      Ichino, Matteo C.; Clark, Malcolm R.; Drazen, Jeffrey C.; Jamieson, Alan; Jones, Daniel O. B.; Martin, Adrian P.; Rowden, Ashley A.; Shank, Timothy M.; Yancey, Paul H.; Ruhl, Henry A. (Elsevier, 2015-02-19)
      Most of our knowledge about deep-sea habitats is limited to bathyal (200–3000 m) and abyssal depths (3000–6000 m), while relatively little is known about the hadal zone (6000–11,000 m). The basic paradigm for the distribution ...

      Stream nutrient enrichment has a greater effect on coarse than on fine benthic organic matter 

      Tant, Cynthia J.; Rosemond, Amy D.; First, Matthew R. (Society for Freshwater Science, 2013-09-17)
      Nutrient enrichment affects bacteria and fungi associated with detritus, but little is known about how biota associated with different size fractions of organic matter respond to nutrients. Bacteria dominate on fine (<1 ...
