BRUVS (TM) - Fish and Benthic survey of Southern Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Seabed Project Cruise 3 2004-04-24 to 2004-05-30

The dataset comprises 10179 individuals from 146 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at around Southern Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Seabed Project Cruise 3 using 140 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). 1217 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.

本数据集包含在南大堡礁海洋公园海底项目第3次巡航期间，通过140个诱饵式远程水下视频站（BRUVS™）观测到的146种鱼类、鲨鱼、鳐类及海蛇的10179个个体，共采集得到1217张图像。

所有BRUVS™项目中遴选而出的约3500张优质图像被存入参考图库。

所记录的数据涵盖以下内容：
- 视场范围内的生境分类（涵盖地形、沉积物、底栖生物）
- 鱼类的物种鉴定信息及CAABCODES
- 个体的抵达时间
- 个体行为（共8类，包括以诱饵为食）
- 个体成熟度（成体或幼体）
- 个体相对丰度（以MaxN，即单次观测到的最大个体数为准；或根据不同时间可区分的独立个体，例如体型差异显著的雌雄个体）
- 达到MaxN数量以及个体开始取食所历经的时长。

澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（AIMS）的工作人员使用Microsoft Access开发了一款定制化界面，用于读取和分析BRUVS™录像数据。
