Dec-95 Hydrothermal vent biology, 19 dives; In December 1995 the third and last cruise of an NSF project to study the roles of larval settlement, species interactions and physiological adaptations during colonization of hydrothermal vents was conducted. This was a collaborative project with Dr. Lauren Mullineaux of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Dr. Charles Peterson of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill which utilized the research submersible ALVIN. Drs. Fisher and Schaeffer participated in this cruise with Kathleen Scott and Donna Toleno from our group. During this cruise .... larval settlement blocks were recovered which had been deployed during the previous two cruises of this project. Additionally water samples were taken and analyzed, recording temperature recorders recovered, additional blocks deployed for a renewal grant, and samples taken for molecular probing of block surfaces for free-living tubeworm symbionts. Collaborating scientists from Canada, California, and France also participated in this cruise.
