Dataset: BRUVS (TM) - Fish and Benthic survey of Inshore Shoals : Rockingham Bay 2010-05-10 to 2010-05-13
Description
The dataset comprises 152 individuals from 25 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at 2 sites (Inshore Shoals : Rockingham Bay ) using 5 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). 45 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.
