Notes on Vent Field Description:
"During three days of investigation on the HOBAB 3 cruise in 2014, we discovered the Tangyin hydrothermal field (Figure 1; 25°4′N, 122°34′E, and 1206 m water depth). Results of our observations and the recovery of biological samples from the field suggest the presence of an active hydrothermal field located on top of a twin seamount named Yuhua Hill." (Zeng et al. 2018)
Notes Relevant to Biology:
Year and How Discovered (if active, visual confirmation is listed first):
2014 likely by dredging or ROV during the HOBAB3 cruise on R/V Kexue
