After over 7 weeks at sea the #SDAScience expedition is finally at an end and the science team flies home tomorrow. A gentoo penguin turned up at the harbour to see us off!

A few #seaspider beauties from our test of the Agassiz trawl. A couple of Nymphon species and an Austropallene. Phpotographing them under UV light to check for any biofluorescence. Next trawl is 5.5km deep, really looking forward to seeing what we discover #SDAScience

1st sea spiders of the trip & 1st time I've ever seen them alive. These 2 Nyphons (australe I think) came up in the multicorer. 2nd 📸 is under UV, highlighting their "hairs". One was carrying round a large brood. #SDAScience #seaspidersaturday
