BRUVS (TM) - Fish and Benthic survey of Palm Islands 2000-03-24 to 2000-04-01

Created 12/03/2025

Updated 12/03/2025

The dataset comprises 739 individuals from 81 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at around Palm Islands using 28 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). Approximately 3500 of the best images from all BRUVS (TM) projects are stored in a reference library. Data recorded concern: - classification of the habitat in the field of view (topography, sediments, benthos) - the identity of fish and CAABCODES - their time of arrival - their behaviour (8 categories, including feeding on the bait) - their maturity (adult or juvenile) - their relative abundance (as MaxN = the maximum number visible at one time, or distinguishable at different times as separate individuals e.g. much larger/smaller, male/female) - the time elapsed before MaxN and feeding occurs. A custom interface has been developed by AIMS staff, using Microsoft Access, for reading and analysis of BRUVS(TM) tapes.
