BRUVS (TM) - Fish and Benthic survey of James Price Point 2009-10-11 to 2009-10-16

The dataset comprises 8149 individuals from 122 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at around James Price Point using 154 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). 1324 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.

本数据集涵盖了在詹姆斯普赖斯角（James Price Point）附近通过154台诱饵式远程水下视频站（baited remote underwater video stations, BRUVS(TM)）观测得到的122种鱼类、鲨鱼、鳐类及海蛇共8149个个体样本。从这些设备中共获取1324帧影像。所有BRUVS(TM)项目中筛选出的约3500张优质影像已收录至参考数据库。
所记录的数据包含以下内容：
- 视场范围内的生境分类（包括地形、沉积物、底栖生物）；
- 鱼类的物种身份及CAABCODES编码；
- 个体的到达时间；
- 行为特征（共8类，包含以诱饵为食的行为）；
- 成熟状态（成体或幼体）；
- 相对丰度（以MaxN指标衡量，即单次观测到的最大个体数，或可通过体型差异、性别区分的不同时段出现的独立个体）；
- 达到MaxN峰值以及出现摄食行为的耗时。
澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（AIMS）工作人员基于Microsoft Access开发了专属接口，用于读取和分析BRUVS(TM)录制的影像数据。
