Notes on Vent Field Description:
Gondou: western flank of the third Kume-Knoll (Daisan-Kume Knoll); the position and temperature for this listing are for Gondou, confirmed in 2016 by ROV Kaiko dive 721, but may have been confirmed in 2014: "Based on our AUV data, ROV dives were conducted in November 2014. Chimneys and mounds with hydrothermal venting were confirmed [Ishikawa et al., 2016]" (Minami and Ohara, 2017); “ANA” is located close to Daisan-Kume Knoll (26°17.4’N 126°28.3’E 1070 m) and characterized by max. 228.5°C fluid venting (Makabe et al. 2016); ROV Hyper Dolphin 3000 Dive #1761 in December 2014 suggested potential activity in the caldera of this knoll as well;
Year and How Discovered (if active, visual confirmation is listed first):
2015 ROV Kaiko; 2014 ROV Hyper Dolphin 3000 Dive 1761 may have confirmed; 2014 AUV temperature anomaly
