1 The hot pink are areas that are only in the axis. Here is another 



2 group and here is another group that are specifically clusters that 



3 indicate axis areas. This indicates a shallow area and then this 



4 indicates a slightly deeper area. 



5 This one is centered around the 200-meter isobath. This extends 



6 from about 350 to about 500 meters, and this one from about 500 to about 



7 1,000 meters and then this one from 1,000 to about 1,500 meters. 



8 Then you have the areas below 1,500 meters are very similar to 



9 each other in comparison to the other areas. Take a look at fauna! --the 



10 percent similarity here. We're talking about faunal similarities of 



11 about 15 percent, which is not very high. 



12 So, the picture that this gives of the fauna in the canyon is that 



13 it's very, yery patchily distributed, as Dick was talking about this 



14 morning. 



15 I'll show you what it maps out like because it's sometimes hard to 



16 follow the clustergrams. What it maps out at, basically, is the first 



17 cluster goes around the 200-meter isobath. It goes right around the rim 



18 of the canyon. 



19 This is composed of fauna that are in the shallow water groups, 



20 say the jonah crabs that you saw pictures of this morning, Actinauge 



21 verilli, one of the anemones and the white hake, so you're talking about 



22 shallow water species, some starfish, asterias, and things like that. 



23 That extends right around the rim. There are a couple of areas 



24 here on the west flank that had the fauna that was found along the rim, 



25 but also had additional organism like munida [phonetic], galatea crab 



26 and the burrowing anemone. 



27 Then, the next cluster that you got was what I'm calling a zone 2, 



28 and that does not extend into the canyon at all, and then zone 3 does. 



29 Basically the quill worm and several anemones and several small solitary 



30 corals are characteristic of this area, as well as the red crab Geryon. 



31 When you get down into 3, which extends down into the canyon in a 



32 narrow band and back out, you're talking about mostly carnivores, Geryon 



33 quinqueidens, the large red crab, several deep-sea eels and some 



34 rattails.
