BRUVS (TM) - Fish and Benthic survey of Inshore Shoals : Townsville 2006-10-28 to 2006-10-30

The dataset comprises 1260 individuals from 87 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at around Inshore Shoals : Townsville using 21 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). 338 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.

该数据集包含在汤斯维尔近岸浅滩区域使用21个带饵远程水下视频站（baited remote underwater video stations, BRUVS(TM)）观测到的87种鱼类、鲨鱼、鳐鱼及海蛇，共计1260个个体。这些摄像机捕获了338张图像。

所有BRUVS(TM)项目中约3500张最优图像被存储在参考库中。

记录的数据包括：
- 视野内栖息地的分类（地形、沉积物、底栖生物）
- 鱼类的种类及CAABCODES编码
- 到达时间
- 行为（共8个类别，包括取食诱饵）
- 成熟度（成体或幼体）
- 相对丰度（以MaxN表示：即同一时间可见的最大数量，或不同时间可区分的独立个体数量，例如体型差异显著或性别不同的个体）
- MaxN出现及取食行为发生前的时间间隔

AIMS工作人员利用Microsoft Access开发了一个自定义界面，用于读取和分析BRUVS(TM)录像带。
