3. Observation 3.1. Observation 3.1.1. Overview The research was conducted with two proposals, because this cruise was organized as
a joint cruise. The purpose of one proposal is to deploy in situ colonization devices like
setae of Shinkaia crosnieri in Iheya North where a large number of S. crosnieri individuals live to clarify why the epibiotic microbes are attached to the setae of S.
crosnieri. The purpose of another proposal was to examine whether the weak negative
potential induced electrochemical products injures the deep-sea shrimps Alvinocaris sp.
and S. crosnieri in piezo-stat aquarium system.
We conducted dives for two days, although the plan of the dives was constituted for
four days. During the dives, we could deploy the in situ colonization devices in
Bathymodiolus colony, S. crosnieri colony, Paralvinella hessleri colony and
non-hydrothermal area in Iheya North. We could get living deep-see animals to be
available in the aquarium system because we could catch Alvinocaris sp., S. crosnieri and Bathymodiolus without dead individual.
The deep-sea drilling vessel Chikyu drilled holes at hydrothermal area in Iheya North
on September 2010. This cruise was carried out for the first time since the drilling
operation. Because Iheya North is the largest habitat of rare animal, S. crosnieri, we
concerned about the disruption of the natural habitat by the drilling operation. However
we could not observe the decrease in the number of S. crosnieri individuals in respect of
the screen image televised by Hyper-Dolphin in this cruise. The casing pipes were put
in drilling holes after the drilling and we found thermal fluid was welling from the pipe
heads of all the casing pipes that we observed. We could first collect the thermal fluid
from each artificial thermal vent then.

3.1.2. To verify epibiotic structures controlled by hydrothermal environments and elastic property of setae of Shinkaia crosnieri
Tomo-o Watsuji & MiHye Seo
(JAMSTEC & The University of Tokyo) Many species of invertebrates dwelling in deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold
seeps are known to host bacteria (epibionts) on the surface of specialized tissues such as
the dorsal setae of Alvinella pompejana, the gill chamber of Rimicaris exoculata, the
setae of Shinkaia crosnieri, the setae of Kiwa hirsuta, and the sulfide-coated scales of
scaly-foot snails. The epibiotic microbial communities on the host animals mainly
included the phylotypes affiliated with the genus Sulfurovum within
Epsilonproteobacteria and the Marin epibiont group I within Gammaproteobacteria. The
fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis reveled that most of the epibionts
belonging to Epsilonproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria were filamentous in the
epibiotic communities. Molecular approaches have revealed that the dominant
epsilon-proteobacterial epibionts in A. pompejana expressed a gene encoding ATP
citrate lyase, a key enzyme in the reverse tricarboxylic acid (rTCA) cycle, a CO2
fixation pathway. Additionally, a metagenomic analysis of the epibiotic community in A. pompejana revealed the presence of genes involved in the complete reductive
tricarboxylic acid (rTCA) cycle and sulfur oxidation. Actually, the epibiotic
communities of S. crosnieri assimilated 13C-labeled bicarbonate. Moreover, the
incorporation of H13CO3- into the epibiotic microbial community was enhanced with the
addition of potentially thioautotrophic substrates such as sulfide and thiosulfate. These
results suggested that the dominant filamentous epibionts were capable of
chemolithoautotrophic growth by sulfur oxidation. However, the filamentous epibiont
affiliated with Epsilonproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria have not been isolated
from the epibiotic communities.
The galatheid crab, Shinkaia crosnieri forms dense colonies in deep-sea hydrothermal
fields of Okinawa Trough and has numerous setae covered with filamentous epibiotic
microorganisms. Molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that the epibiotic
communities in S. crosnieri consisted mainly of yet-uncultivated phylotypes within
Epsilonproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria in both hydrothermal vent fields.
Uptake experiments using 13C-labeled tracers clearly demonstrated that both H13CO3-
and 13CH4 were assimilated into not only the epibiotic microbial communities associated
10
with the setae, but also the epibiont-free tissue of living S. crosnieri. The uptake
experiments suggested that sulfur-oxidizing chemolithoautotrophic and methanotrophic
production by the epibionts provides the nutrition for S. crosnieri. In this cruise, we
deployed in situ colonization devices in Bathymodiolus colony, S. crosnieri colony,
Paralvinella hessleri colony and non-hydrothermal area in Iheya North to cultivate the
filamentous epibionts at the actual site without depending on the host. We are going to
collect them in another cruise. In the future study, we will conduct the SEM
observations, phylogenetic analysis, and FISH analysis of the microbial colonization on
the devices.
3.1.3. Keeping of Alvinocaris sp. and Shinkaia crosnieri using a propagable piezostat-aquarium system with potentiostat.
Sumihiro KOYAMA1 & Mitsugu KITADA2 (1JAMSTEC & 2Enoshima Aquarium)
Introduction
The deep sea represents a large portion of the total volume of the oceans and this
extreme environment is characterized by the absence of light, low temperature, and high
hydrostatic pressure. After the advent of deep-sea vessels opened the door to research
on deep-sea organisms, many have been isolated and characterized (Horikoshi and
Tsujii 1999). There are two major obstacles to biological studies of deep-sea
multicellular organisms under atmospheric pressure. The first is the development of
devices for capturing and maintaining them, because most succumb as a result of
decompression and exposure to the high-temperature surface seawater (Koyama and
Aizawa 2000; Koyama et al. 2002, 2005a, 2005b). The second is acclimation of the
captured organisms to atmospheric conditions. It notes that rapid decompressed
deep-sea multicellular organisms have little or no appetite under atmospheric conditions.
To dissolve these problems, the author has developed piezo-stat aquarium system for the
deep-sea organisms (Koyama et al., 2002). The piezo-stat aquarium system composed
stainless steel and it was unsuitable for using hydrogen sulfide containing seawater,
however.
Results on shipboard and future plan To make improvement on the aquarium system for studying the hydrogen sulfide
required deep-sea organisms, -0.75-V vs. Ag/AgCl weak negative potential applied to
11
the aquarium system using potentiostat and succeeded in avoiding the hydrogen sulfide
induced rusting. In the future study, we will examine whether the weak negative
potential induced electrochemical products injures the deep-sea shrimps Alvinocaris sp.
and deep-sea crabs Shinkaia crosnieri in the aquarium system.

3.1.4. Temperature measurements of boreholes during exp.331 IODP cruise. 1Junichi Miyazaki, 1Kazumasa Kato and 2Akihiko Itoi
(1JAMSTEC & 2GRC) One of the objectives of this KY11-02 Leg 3 was determining temperature distribution
in boreholes which were dilled during expedition 331 of IODP cruise, because in both
the IODP cruise and the Natsushima cruise (NT10-17) at September, we could not
measure fluid temperature from borehole. By using Kandata system which can access
depths of borehole by Watanabe’s winch system, Kuster thermometer will roll down
into the boreholes. Kuster thermometer is Amerada-type thermometer and can measure
high temperature (Max. 500°C) without electric system. The targets of the borehole will
be C0013E, C0014G, and C0016B whose depth were 54.5 m, 136.7 m, and 45 m,
respectively.
Another objective was deployment of the rope tester to determine the heat stabilization
of fiber ropes. Why are test the fiber ropes? We have a future objective which is
deployment of in situ colonization for a long time. However, the heat stability for a long
time has not been known. Therefore we will deploy the rope tester in which 9 kinds of
12
fiber ropes are tied.
3.1.5. Geochemistry of thermal fluid from artificial thermal vents
Kawaguchi shinsuke, Hisako Hirayama and Ken takai (JAMSTEC)
The fluid sampling for geochemical analysis was conducted by using a gas-tight
sampler WHATS II. The temperature of each vent fluid was monitored during the
sampling using a Pt resistant temperature probe equipped at the intake of sampling
systems. The fluid samples were filtered by 0.2 µm pore-size filters in order to remove
particles prior to subsumpling for each of the chemical analyses. The samples for
onshore cation analyses were acidified by adding 0.3 mL of 20% hydrochloric acids
down to at pH<2. After the recovery of WHATS II onboard, the fluids in stainless-steel
gas-tight bottles (150 mL) were immediately opened to a vacuum line (ca. 3 L) to
recover the gas components. Reagent-grade solid sulfamic acid (HOSO2NH2) and
mercury chloride (AgCl2) was added to the fluid in the vacuum line to extract CO2 and
remove H2S, respectively. After degassing at least for 10 min, the gas phase was
collected into 50 mL stainless bottles for the subsequent gas analyses. At the same time,
the degassed liquid was filtered (using a 0.45 µm pore-size filter) and collected for the
magnesium measurements. The major cation concentrations in the fluid samples will be
measured by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectrophotometry. The pH
and the concentrations of NH4 were analyzed onboard. The pH was determined using a
pH electrode. The NH4 concentrations was measured by colorimetry. The concentrations
of H2, CO2, CH4, H2S, COS, and C2H6 were determined by GC-HID

Objectives: The objectives of this dive are to 1) deploy in situ colonization systems at NBC site, 2)
collect some animal specimens from the NBC site, 3) collect hydrothermal fluid from
CORK head pipe and 4) deploy a bundle of titanium pipes for experiment of
heat-resistant ropes in drilling hole.
Dive Summary: We landed at approximately 100m north from the INH-4D CORK in the Iheya North
(27°47.5047'N, 126˚53.9564'E, 1043m) and deployed in situ colonization device (Blue
H1247-5) in the non-hydrothermal area. We headed to the INH-4D CORK. We could
find the INH-4D CORK welling fluid from the head pipe. After landing on the CORK
platform, we collected the fluid by 2 x WHATS and the max fluid temperature was
310°C. After the collection, we headed toward top of the NBC. We found
Bathymodiolus sp. colony at the foot of the NBC. After landing on the colony, we
deployed the device (White H1247-3) and collected Bathymodiolus sp. by using slurp
gun. After the operations, we headed toward the top of the NBC. We found Shinkaia crosnieri colony halfway up the NBC. After landing on the colony, we collected S. crosnieri by using slurp gun and deployed the two devices (Both of the devices were
colored pink. H1247-1 and H1247-2). After the operations, we headed to the top of
the NBC. We found Paralvinella hessleri colony at the top of the NBC. After landing on
the colony, we deployed the device (Green H1247-4). We could not collect P. hessleri
by using slurp gun because the surface under the P. hessleri colony was hard. Then,
nearby the P. hessleri colony, we found the drilling hole of the INH-1D disappeared and
new chimney was constructed at the point. We collected the chimney by manipulator
17
and fluid by 2 x WHATS. The max fluid temperature was 308.5°C. After the operatins,
we left the bottom.

Objectives:
The objectives of this dive are 1) deployment of rope tester with in situ colonization
system into borehole C0013E, 2) sampling animals, and 3) sampling hydrothermal fluid
from C0016B borehole.
Dive Summary: At 15:54, we landed on sediment near C0013E borehole. We headed to the C0013E
borehole. We tried to set up the rope tester but we could not completely insert the tester
into borehole because of the strong fluid and probably plug in the pipe. Therefore, we
inserted only a part of the tester. Next we headed to NBC mound. At the middle of
mound, we sampled shrimps and mussels. Finally, we headed to the borehole C0016B
to sample hydrothermal fluid. We confirmed C0016B borehole at 16:55 and reached at
the corrosion cap. We sampled the fluid from pipe. Max fluid temperature was 275°C.
We left the bottom at 17:21.
