Sampling expeditions aren’t just lab work — it’s also feeding 70+ people twice a day with flavor and good vibes!
Big thanks to chef #Christian_Ripert for keeping the ATLASea team well-fed (and motivated!) throughout the Endoume sampling campaign 🥘🍉🙂

ATLASea Mission – Day 6
In the dissection room, the final sampling steps are underway
🔬 Tissue fragments are collected, labeled, weighed, and logged into a data sheet for full traceability
❄️ Samples are flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen at -196°C to preserve DNA quality for sequencing at Genoscope

📸 ATLASea Mission – Day 4 - photography
Each selected specimen is individually photographed in the photo room by 3 dedicated teams.
🗂️ Images are paired with species sheets + unique ATLASea & MNHN labels to ensure full data traceability.
Next stop: the dissection room!

🔍 ATLASea Mission – Day 3
Taxonomic experts examine each specimen, compare it to reference catalogs, and confirm ID - sometimes with help from global colleagues!
If the species is new to sequencing efforts, it’s selected (GO)
If not, it’s returned to the sea (NO GO)

@atlasea.bsky.social Sampling Day 2
Samples from the sea head straight to the wet lab for taxonomic grouping.
Dragged sediments are sieved and size-fractioned - revealing hidden benthic diversity.
Uncertain samples go into aquaria, then safely back to the sea if not selected.

This week, ATLASea is in the Endoume marine station from @univ-amu.fr for a new sampling expedition focused on fish and some additional species! The team has already collected 30 new species.
In the lab, our colleagues Caroline, Janaina and Morgane sampling tissues from a coral.
