Diel behavioral rhythms in sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) and other benthic species, as recorded by the Deep-sea cabled observatories in Barkley canyon (NEPTUNE-Canada)

Recent advances in cabled observatory video-imaging now enable faunal monitoring over extended periods of time. These platforms can be used to avoid biases in population and biodiversity assessments due to behavioral rhythms (i.e. massive population displacements). In this study we used video monitoring to examine the interplay between day–night and internal tidal cycles in regulating the behavior of sablefish (also referred to as black cod;...
