Justification/Comments: |
We are requesting two research cruises (2014 and 2015) to the 9° North Integrated Study Site to collect Riftia pachyptila tubeworms for shipboard experiments to elucidate the pathway of carbon fixation by their chemolithoautotrophic symbionts.
We will need approximately 10 collections of Riftia per cruise, with temperature data collected with the specima.
Cruise duration: In order to undertake the shipboard analyses of these 10 collections (respirometry and symbiont incubations) it would be best for each cruise to last 3 weeks.
DSRV preference: Due to the necessity for careful habitat characterization before specima collection, the necessity to prevent injury to Riftia during collection, and the necessity for sample retrieval as soon as possible after Riftia collection, we feel it best for ALVIN to be used for these collections. |

Instrumentation Requested: |
Radioisotope use - briefly describe
|
Instrumentation Comments: |
14C-bicarbonate would be used in on-board, sealed incubations to track carbon fixation by bacterial endosymbionts from Riftia tubeworms. The PI has extensive experience with conducting these experiments at sea. |
Ancil Facilities Requested: |
Alvin Radioisotope Lab Van
|
Ancil Facility Comments: |
We would like to use ALVIN for this work.
Due to the necessity for careful habitat characterization before specima collection, the necessity to prevent injury to Riftia during collection, and the necessity for sample retrieval as soon as possible after Riftia collection, we feel it best for ALVIN to be used for these collections.
We will also be doing some 14C incubations critical for the work and the radioisotope van would facilitate this. |
