BRUVS (TM) - Fish and Benthic survey of Southern Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Seabed Project Cruise 6 2005-10-26 to 2005-11-29

The dataset comprises 12125 individuals from 192 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at around Southern Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Seabed Project Cruise 6 using 210 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). 1929 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.

本数据集包含192种鱼类、鲨鱼、鳐类及海蛇的12125个个体，这些观测数据采集自南大堡礁海洋公园海底项目第6航次，通过210台诱饵式远程水下视频站（BRUVS(TM)）完成。本次观测所用摄像头共采集1929张图像；所有BRUVS(TM)项目的精选优质图像中，约3500张被存入参考数据库。记录的数据包括：
1. 视场内栖息地分类（地形、沉积物、底栖生物）；
2. 鱼类的物种标识及CAABCODES编码；
3. 个体到达时间；
4. 个体行为（共8类，包括以诱饵为食）；
5. 个体成熟度（成体或幼体）；
6. 相对丰度（以MaxN为统计标准：即单次可见的最大个体数，或不同时段可区分的独立个体，例如体型差异显著、雌雄个体）；
7. 达到MaxN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开发了专用界面，用于读取和分析BRUVS(TM)录制的影像数据。
