Figure 11. Examples of observable impacts caused by derelict fishing gear (DFG) abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded on Cobb Seamount, from the 2012 visual survey. (A) A fouled longline passing through a toppled and damaged large sea fan (Keratoisis sp. A), surrounded by fragments of broken corals. (B) Monofilament net entangled in the stumps of dead and broken hydrocorals (Stylaster spp.) and (C) the carcasses of dead rockfish (Sebastes spp.). (D) A rope net spread across coral habitat, overlaying stumps of dead and broken corals. (E) An anchored longline groundline with dangling branch lines, attatched to floating gear, ascending into the water column. Cup coral growth on the gear is evidence it was lost years to decades ago (shown in inset image). (F) Putative drag marks in soft sediment with no associated DFG. Most images are side-on view, but the first and last images are downward-facing (from AUV). White scale bars = 10 cm.
