Fig. 1. Experiments were conducted on board R/V Western Flyer using DeepPIV’s particle injector deployed from ROV Doc Ricketts.
We conducted in situ feeding studies of giant larvaceans using a modified dye injector pump developed with the DeepPIV hardware (20). A peristaltic injector pump emptied a bag filled with microplastic particles and dispensed particle-rich fluid through the tubing nearby an animal.
