BRUVS (TM) - Fish and Benthic survey of Townsville-Lizard Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Seabed Project Cruise 1 2003-09-05 to 2003-10-12

The dataset comprises 11687 individuals from 253 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at around Townsville-Lizard Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Seabed Project Cruise 1 using 275 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). 2397 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.

本数据集收录了在汤斯维尔-蜥蜴岛大堡礁海洋公园海底项目第1航次中，通过275台诱饵式远程水下视频站（BRUVS(TM)）观测得到的253种鱼类、鲨鱼、鳐鱼及海蛇的11687个个体样本，该批设备共采集到2397幅影像。

来自所有诱饵式远程水下视频站（BRUVS(TM)）项目的约3500幅优质影像被收纳于参考影像库中。

所记录的数据涵盖以下内容：
- 视场范围内的生境分类（包括地形、沉积物、底栖生物）
- 鱼类的物种鉴定信息及CAABCODES编码
- 个体到达观测位点的时间
- 行为特征（共8个类别，包含以诱饵为食的行为）
- 成熟状态（分为成体与幼体两类）
- 相对丰度（以MaxN指标表示，即单次观测到的最大个体数；或可在不同观测时段区分的独立个体，例如体型差异显著、性别不同的个体）
- 达到MaxN峰值及发生取食行为前的耗时

澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（AIMS）工作人员基于Microsoft Access开发了一款自定义界面，用于读取与分析诱饵式远程水下视频站（BRUVS(TM)）的录制影像数据。
