The primary focus of the Exploring Pelagic Biodiversity of the Gulf of Alaska and the Impact of Its Seamounts expedition was on life around seamounts, but the team also explored the waters at the edge of the continental shelf and over the abyssal plain. The planned net sampling stations are in yellow, and the proposed tracks for theIn-Situ Ichthyoplankton Imaging System Deep-Focus Particle Imager (ISIIS-DPI) are in red.
