 | | In the invertebrates there were fluorescent orange lobsters new for the trip, large jelly-like finned octopuses, jewel squid, a jelly-like free-swimming octopus without fins (called Japetella), collapsible sea urchins, three large sea spiders (over 30 cm across) and a range of prawns. |
 | | The fishes included a large blobfish, a large white skate that is at least a new species and may even be a new genus, chimaeras, deep-sea lizardfishes, an anglerfish, a halosaur, slickheads, a Schmidt’s cod (Lepidion schmidti) that only come in one size (big), and some rattail species new for the trip. |
 | | There was also a weary fish, the first record of the genus Ahliesaurus from New Zealand waters, much further south than previously reported. |
