The Fish Team of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa has been sampling the deep fish diversity around White Island, an active volcano (New Zealand) in March 2009. Deep sea baited videos have captured fish diversity from 50 to 900m of depth and fish traps have collected specimens from 50 to 1500m. This footage shows a video from a deployment made at a depth of 50m.
