Sampling Methods

Limpet specimens were collected from hydrocarbon seep sites at the Pacific Costa Rica Margin during three cruises using human-operated and remotely-operated submersibles.

Study Extent Costa Rica Margin, 5 hydrocarbon seeps, 18 dives

Method step description:

  1. The human-operated vehicle (HOV) Alvin was used aboard the R/V Atlantis and the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) SuBastian was used aboard the R/V Falkor. Specimens were collected in situ using sampling tools attached to the HOV and ROV such as vacuum suction and manipulator arms. Time and date of sampling events were recorded during each dive. Upon arrival to the surface, limpets were sorted into distinct shell morphotypes, promptly placed into >95% ethanol, and subsequently stored at room temperature.
