The Aloha Cabled Observatory, located 4700 meters deep and 100 km north of Oahu, conducts long-term observations on how communities and behaviors change over time, ranging from days to decades. With a camera tripod capturing 450 observations of marine animals monthly, shrimp and other invertebrates account for 93% of these observations. Current research is investigating temporal patterns in abundance, focusing on species such as Enypniastes, cucumber, rattail fish, Aristeid shrimp, polychaete worms, and benthic shrimp.
