About
The 500.100 deep-sea lander is designed for biodiversity documentation on the ocean floor down to 6000 m. In its final configuration, it accommodates an acoustic releaser, camera, flashes, current meters and related instrumentation. A baited deep-sea camera system captures digital stills and video as scavengers are attracted to the bait, enabling scientists to catalog abundance and diversity over time.
