BRUVS (TM) - Fish and Benthic survey of Shoals: Townsville 2007-11-12 to 2007-11-19

Created 13/03/2025

Updated 13/03/2025

The dataset comprises 2139 individuals from 68 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at around Shoals: Townsville using 10 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). 172 images were captured from these cameras. 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.
