Abstract :
In this paper, we will report the first scientific using results for a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) named Fa Xian at R/V Ke Xue. A deep-sea hydrothermal area nearby Iheya North at Okinawa Trough and a cold seep area nearby Taiwan had been visited by ROV Fa Xian at the spring of 2014. An Insite Zeus Plus HD color zoon camera had collected a series of high definition video in both of areas. In situ deep-sea environmental data such as CTD, dissolved oxygen, pH, fluorimeter, turbimeter, CH4 and CO2 had been detected by different kinds of sensors. It is just a start of a big long-team project; more detail work will be report in future papers.
