Figures. A sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria, rests on 

 the sea floor (4100 feet) within the area illuminated by the 

 mercury-vapor lamp. Brittle starfish and chaetopteran 

 worm tubes are abundant. An unidentified shrimp, lower 

 left, moved slowly out of the illuminated area while the 

 bathyscaph remained in a fixed position. The carcass of 

 the pelagic crab, Pleuroncodes planipes, appears only 

 as a diffuse whitish mass above the two small brittle star- 

 fish, lower right. At one time five sablefish appeared in 

 the illuminated areas.
