"Michael Sars" North Atlantic Deep-sea Expedition (1910); Oceanography; North Atlantic Ocean. 98 DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN corticata. Under the turtles there were often quite a number of the Httle silvery fish alluded to above, and we caught some of them in a net and found that they were horse mackerel (Caranx tracJmi'its, see Fig. 86). Some larger fish too were occasionally seen below the turtle near the mouth, just where the neck leaves the carapace. These swam under the boat as soon as the turtle was caught, but we captured three, and found them to be wreck- fish i^Polyprion ameri- cantis). Quantities of blue isopods were seen beneath one or two of the animals. Our meeting with tur- tles was extremely in- teresting, as we found Michael that their stomach con- tents consisted entirely of medusse and salpae, immense quantities of which floated near the surface of the sea. In the transparent blue waters we could perceive thousands and thousands of beautifully-coloured and iridescent chains of salpae, sometimes as much as 6 to 7. Fig. 85.—T. H.
