Abstract
A new epibenthic sled was developed for use in deep water over rough terrain, especially seamounts. It has a Furuno net sonde unit to confirm bottom contact. A novel weak-link system significantly enhanced the probability of successful sampling and retrieval. During a cruise in January 1997, 47 samples were obtained with the sled from the summit, slope and base of 14 seamounts south of Tasmania.
