As part of the Seep Animal Larval Transport (SALT) project, Seafloor Larval Observatories were deployed at various methane seep sites in the Gulf of Mexico and the Western Atlantic. These observatories included tilt current meters, settlement substrate (scrubbies and sipuncollectors), technicap carousels, and homemade PVC larval traps. The technicap carousels and PVC larval traps had tubes full of fixatives that passively collected larvae from their deployment on TN391 (Jun 2021) and their reco...
