BRUVS (TM) - Fish and Benthic survey of Townsville Midshelf Reefs 2000-09-30 to 2000-10-05

The dataset comprises 1380 individuals from 128 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at around Townsville Midshelf Reefs using 19 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.

该数据集包含通过19个带饵远程水下视频站（BRUVS(TM)）在汤斯维尔中架礁群附近观测到的128种鱼类、鲨鱼、鳐鱼和海蛇，共计1380个个体。所有BRUVS(TM)项目中约3500张最佳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）- 鱼类的身份及CAABCODES编码- 它们的到达时间- 行为（8个类别，包括摄食诱饵）- 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个体，如体型明显大小差异、雌雄个体）- MaxN出现及摄食行为发生前的时间间隔。AIMS工作人员使用Microsoft Access开发了一个自定义界面，用于读取和分析BRUVS(TM)录像带。
