Notes on Vent Field Description:
located in SE caldera floor; Tanahashi et al. (2006): "first discovery of Kuroko-type ore deposit in the Izu-Bonin back-arc rift"; note: spreading rate from primary literature not from Bird (2003); Neptune Minerals Plc, 21 Feb. 2007, applications by Neptune Minerals Japan Kabushiki Kaisha: "Neptune's applications cover 6 highly prospective areas, including the Hakurei hydrothermal field, discovered by Japanese researchers in 2003 approximately 500km south-southeast of Tokyo. Subsequent research has delineated a complex of sulphide mounds and chimneys covering an area of 700m x 500m, at a water depth of around 900m."; Honsho et al. (2013): AUV Urashima dives in 2011, "autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) surveys of a large-scale hydrothermal deposit called the Hakurei site located in the Bayonnaise knoll caldera of the Izu-Ogasawara island arc"
Notes Relevant to Biology:

Year and How Discovered (if active, visual confirmation is listed first):
2003 temperature anomalies, but camera survey observed inactive vent deposits
