Objective

KANADEEP is part of the expedition program "La Planète Revisitée" (LPR) in New Caledonia and follows the KANACONO campaign carried out in 2016. The KANADEEP campaign belongs to the "Tropical Deep Sea Benthos" (TDSB) program, led by the MNHN and the IRD since the 1980s, which is mobilizing since nearly 40 years an international taxonomist network. Over the last decade, and thanks to advances in molecular techniques, the TDSB program has diversified by providing data for several international molecular systematics projects (eg., Tree of Life and Barcode of Life), and/or for several research teams focusing on the study of the structure and origin of the biodiversity in deep-sea environments.

For the last past forty years, the deep-sea floor of the New Caledonian EEZ has been explored by the TDSB oceanographic campaigns. The goal of this new project is to complement the gaps identified in this exploration by collecting data in the habitats and geographic areas of the New Caledonia EEZ that remain still unknown.

To complement the existing data, KANADEEP has four main objectives: (1) to fill knowledge gaps in the deep-sea biodiversity of the New Caledonia EEZ; (2) to provide new empirical data on the determinants of connectivity at different spatial scales throughout the fragmented set of habitats existing in the New Caledonian EEZ; (3) to provide empirical data enabling the analysis of the evolutionary processes involved in the development of the New Caledonia deep-sea diversity at different time scales; (4) to analyze species-habitat relationships and refine the predictive power of habitat models and their limitations.

These objectives require an ambitious sampling strategy, including trawling and dredging operations in areas that were not properly sampled in previous surveys (including the western part of the EEZ and the southern part of the Loyalty Ridge, and the deep basins between the ridges) and the use of the ROV Victor to acquire images and sample from the fringes and slopes of New Caledonian seamounts, still poorly sampled because of the difficulty of accessing these habitats using traditional trawling and dredging gear. The KANADEEP project corresponds to an expedition carried out on two boats: the Alis and the Atalante. The Alis part has been realized from 27/8 to 27/9/2017. The second part on the Atalante is scheduled between 4/9/2019 and 2/10/2019.

During this first part we will explore with ROV Victor three seamounts: two on the Norfolk Ridge (Stylaster and Munida seamounts) and one on the Loyalty Ridge (Mount D). We selected these sites based on the data acquired by the past cruises and available geological and bathymetric data. The two seamounts chosen on the Norfolk ridge have abundant fauna, but they are dominated by different bio-constructors (sponges in one case and corals and gorgonians in the other). The Loyalty seamount is less known because it is deeper: available dredging and trawling data suggest less dense communities on a substrate covered with polymetallic crusts. This first part will include imaging and video analysis of the habitat structure, sampling notably to check for the taxonomic identity of the observed organisms, water sampling for environmental DNA analysis, mapping, physico-chemical measurements.

During the second part, various fishing gears (dredges, trawls and sleds) will be deployed between 1000m and 4000m. The targeted areas are the deep reliefs of the Felicity and Loyalty ridges, the sedimentary zones between these two ridges, and the deeper areas east of the Loyalty Ridge. During this second part we plan to deploy particle traps for one year in order to complete the knowledge on the ecological coupling between the surface and the deep zones. These traps allow sampling by a bucket system rotating every 15 days. The usual method of fixation for these traps is formalin, which does not allow the analysis of diversity by molecular methods. We plan to replace formalin by RNA-Later, one bucket in two. This should allow us to identify the collected larvae using molecular method.
