BRUVS (TM) - Fish and Benthic survey of Inshore Shoals : Cairns and Cardwell 2006-12-12 to 2006-12-21

The dataset comprises 4483 individuals from 140 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at around Inshore Shoals : Cairns and Cardwell using 53 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). 648 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.

本数据集涵盖了在凯恩斯（Cairns）与卡德韦尔（Cardwell）周边近岸浅滩，通过53台诱饵式远程水下视频站（BRUVS(TM)）观测得到的140个物种的4483个个体样本，涉及鱼类、鲨鱼、鳐类与海蛇。该设备组共采集得到648张图像。

来自所有BRUVS(TM)项目的约3500张优质图像被存储于参考数据库中。

所记录的数据涵盖以下内容：
- 视野内生境分类（包括地形、沉积物与底栖生物）
- 鱼类物种鉴定及CAABCODES
- 个体抵达时间
- 个体行为（共8类，包含摄食诱饵行为）
- 个体成熟度（成体或幼体）
- 相对丰度（以MaxN为指标：即单次观测中可见的最大个体数量，或可在不同时段被区分识别为独立个体的样本，例如体型差异显著、性别不同的个体）
- 达到MaxN与开始摄饵的耗时时长

AIMS工作人员基于Microsoft Access开发了定制化分析界面，用于读取与分析BRUVS(TM)录制的影像数据。
