Fish and benthic surveys around remote Timor Sea Shoals, using baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS) (TM)

Created 24/06/2017

Updated 09/10/2017

BRUVS (TM) were deployed in 3 depth zones, 20-30 m, 40-60 m and 90-110 m at 3 shoals near Evans Shoal, 6 Karmt shoals and 6 Sahul shoals as well as 4 adjacent sites in 96-100 m on the shelf in the Timor Sea. A series of 6 BRUVS (TM) were set in a line at each site and depth.

Sampling positions, depth, time and associated operational data were secured at the time of deployment. The parameters recorded during the tape reading process were: - classification of the habitat (a still image is grabbed for each set) - identification to species level of all vertebrates observed (following the CAABCodes Australian standard naming convention) - the relative abundance of each species (recorded as 'maxN' - the maximum number visible at one time at any point on the tape) - the 'time of arrival' (Tarr) of each fish species - the life stage of each species (adult or juvenile) - the time elapsed before maxN (TmaxN) and feeding (Tf) was observed for each species
