Entangled Animals

During both the dives, a significant number of entangled animals (~60 in each dive) were recovered. The majority animals recovered in the first dive included crabs and small fish. All of the small fish were already found dead. Few of the crabs managed to survive a few hours upon surfacing but eventually perished due to serious injuries such as DCS and lost limbs. During the second dive, loose chunks of barnacle growth and few molluscs such as clams and mussels were also recovered.
