Screen capture from ROV-based video transect surveys of nearshore (50-55m depth) rocky reef habitats at 44.25ºN illustrating a) pre-anoxia rockfish (Sebastes spp.) and b) macroscopic benthic invertebrate communities in 2000 and 2001, respectively, c, d) widespread mortality of macro-invertebrates during the 2006 anoxia event, e) formation of putative sulphide-oxidizing bacterial mats in 2006, and f) close-up of bacterial mats. Reference laser points are spaced at 10cm apart.
