Fish identified using stereo Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUVs) at Browse Island, Western Australia 2015

63 BRUV deployments were undertaken as part of the "Shell and INPEX Operational and Scientific Monitoring Program (OSMP) Applied Research Program 5 (ARP5) - Establishing the basis to evaluate the effects of an oil spill on commercially important demersal fishes". These were analysed at Curtin University by Euan Harvey and Damon Driessen to determine species composition and size of adult fishes. This will assist in attaining an improved baseline understanding of the status and spatial variability in populations of commercially and ecologically important finfish of the Browse Basin region. This sampling was centered on the Prelude/Ichthys development.

The videos have been uploaded to CSIRO DAP for archive.
