Pelagic baited camera (stereo-BRUVs) survey of the Bremer Marine Park and adjacent areas (NESP Emerging Priorities Project EP2)

This dataset relates to deployments of pelagic stereo-BRUVS conducted by the University of Western Australia within and to the west of the Bremer Marine Park in February/March 2017. The survey was undertaken to provide a baseline assessment of the pelagic assemblages occurring in the region as part of the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Emerging Priorities Project #EP2 (https://www.nespmarine.edu.au/project/ep2-surveying-m arine-life-canyons-bremer-bay). A total of 791 individuals from 13 taxa were identified. Field methods followed Bouchet et al. 2015 (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1890/ES14-00380. 1/full). A series of pelagic stereo-BRUV deployments (n=100, i.e. 20 sets of 5 rigs) were undertaken within and outside the Bremer AMP between 27th February and 8th March 2017. Camera units soaked for two hours and were set up in a longline configuration that allowed them to drift freely with prevailing currents. The resulting video footage was processed at the University of Western Australia Marine Futures Lab (http://www.meeuwig.org), using standard imagery analysis software (SeaGIS EventMeasure, https://www.seagis.com.au/event.html).

本数据集涉及西澳大利亚大学于2017年2月至3月期间在布雷默海洋公园（Bremer Marine Park）范围内及以西海域开展的远洋立体诱饵远程水下视频系统（pelagic stereo-BRUVS）布放作业。本次调查旨在为该区域现存远洋生物群落提供基线评估，作为国家环境科学计划（National Environmental Science Program, NESP）海洋生物多样性中心新兴优先项目#EP2的一部分（项目链接：https://www.nespmarine.edu.au/project/ep2-surveying-marine-life-canyons-bremer-bay）。本次调查共鉴定出13个分类单元下的791个个体。野外作业方法遵循Bouchet等人2015年发表的研究方案（文献链接：http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1890/ES14-00380.1/full）。2017年2月27日至3月8日期间，研究团队在布雷默海洋保护区（Bremer AMP）及其周边海域开展了一系列远洋立体诱饵远程水下视频系统布放作业（共计100次布放，即20组，每组包含5套装置）。每套摄像装置均在水下静置2小时，采用延绳钓布局，可随盛行海流自由漂移。所获取的视频素材均在西澳大利亚大学海洋未来实验室（http://www.meeuwig.org）进行处理，所用工具为标准图像分析软件SeaGIS EventMeasure（软件链接：https://www.seagis.com.au/event.html）。元数据及相关数据可通过以下链接获取：http://metadata.imas.utas.edu.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/metadata.show?uuid=a18994fa-2879-4b46-97e4-b399bf847b43
