BRUVS (TM) - Fish and Benthic survey of Southern Melville Bay 2007-10-29 to 2007-11-10

The dataset comprises 369 individuals from 39 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at around Southern Melville Bay using 25 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). 50 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.

该数据集涵盖39个物种种群下的369个观测个体，涉及鱼类、鲨鱼、鳐类及海蛇，于梅尔维尔湾南部周边海域通过25台诱饵式远程水下视频监测站（BRUVS(TM)）完成观测，上述设备共拍摄得到50张影像。

来自所有BRUVS(TM)项目的约3500张优质影像已被存入参考影像库。

所记录的数据涉及以下内容：
- 视场范围内的生境分类（包括地形、沉积物、底栖生物）
- 鱼类的物种鉴定结果与CAABCODES
- 个体的抵达时间
- 个体行为（共8个类别，其中包含以诱饵为食的行为）
- 个体成熟度（成体或幼体）
- 相对丰度（以MaxN为统计标准，即同一时刻可见的最大个体数量，或在不同时刻可被区分的独立个体，例如体型差异悬殊、雄性/雌性个体）
- 达到MaxN数值以及开始取食前的耗时时长

澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（AIMS）工作人员基于Microsoft Access开发了定制化界面，用于读取和分析BRUVS(TM)录制的影像数据。
