Seamounts are vulnerable ecosystems targeted by fishing and potentially future mineral exploitation. Their abundance, widespread distribution, heterogeneity of faunal abiotic components require integrated studies at multiscale to describe spatial patterns identify environmental drivers needed conservation plans. There is also a lack knowledge on seamount benthic in some regions, such as the Indian Ocean. These gaps, context Marine Protected Areas establishment region, have motivated present...
Seamounts in the Mozambique Channel host rich but potentially vulnerable ecosystems. A towed camera survey was used to assess composition, vulnerability and resilience of four seamounts: Glorieuses, Sakalaves, Bassas da India, Hall Bank. This six dive survey, between 300 1,000 m depth recorded > 40 hours videos, 6000 still images, covering 200,000 m². Over 70,000 individuals were observed 400 morphospecies identified. The main taxonomic groups sponges, corals, crustaceans, echinoderms,...
