BRUVS (TM) - Fish and Benthic survey of Shoals : Southern Great Barrier Reef 2007-02-05 to 2007-02-20

The dataset comprises 8953 individuals from 192 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at around Shoals : Southern Great Barrier Reef using 43 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). 1285 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.

本数据集涵盖在南大堡礁浅滩周边海域，通过43台诱饵式远程水下视频站（BRUVS(TM)）观测得到的8953个个体，涉及192种鱼类、鲨鱼、鳐类及海蛇。该设备共采集获得1285张影像。

从所有BRUVS(TM)项目中筛选出的约3500张优质影像，已存入参考图库。

本次记录的数据集内容包括：
- 视场范围内的生境分类（涵盖地形、沉积物与底栖生物）
- 鱼类物种鉴定信息及CAABCODES
- 个体抵达时间
- 个体行为（共8个类别，包含以诱饵为食的行为）
- 个体成熟度（分为成体与幼体）
- 相对丰度（以MaxN作为统计标准，即单次观测可见的最大个体数；或依据不同时段可区分的独立个体数进行统计，例如体型悬殊、性别不同的个体）
- 达到MaxN以及发生取食行为前的耗时

澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（Australian Institute of Marine Science，AIMS）工作人员基于Microsoft Access开发了专用界面，用于读取和分析BRUVS(TM)录制的影像数据。
