[19:56:06] EX1703_DIVE11 Vehicles on Bottom [19:56:34] I understand that freezing is not an option for "excess sample"...but there is a freezer on board. [19:56:46] 5 gallons to a carbuoy [19:57:06] We will be leaving 11.6 gallons [19:57:16] Point being EtOH should not be the limiting factor on collecting in these remote habitats, since EtOH is likely the esaiet thing to get out here (relative to ROVs, I mean) [19:57:33] 11 gallons sounds like a generous amount. [19:58:07] That should be okay. [19:59:03] I wouldn't bet on it Scott. Katherine, is this half of what you guys found on the ship when you got down there?

[20:02:19] 11.6 will hopefully be enough for Scott without him having to budget too strenuously [20:04:24] As the science lead, please keep in mind that we are supposed to be only collecting potential new records/new species or dominant animals in the community that people are unsure about their identifications.
