Abstract
Collectively, seamounts form a significant biome the size of
Europe with important but heavily depleted fisheries (see
Box 12 on page 206 of this issue [Etnoyer et al., 2010]). Recently,
large seamount tracts have been put aside as protected areas
(see Pitcher et al., 2010). Yet, we remain largely ignorant of the
dynamics of fish and other nektonic organism movements around
seamounts. Hence, there is a pressing need for a survey tool to
effectively monitor how stocks respond to management closures,
and to determine which fisheries might actually be sustainable.
