BRUVS (TM) - Fish and Benthic survey of Hicks Island 2002-06-23 to 2002-06-28

The dataset comprises 170 individuals from 47 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at around Hicks Island using 8 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). 14 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.

本数据集包含在希克斯岛（Hicks Island）周边通过8台诱饵式远程水下视频站（BRUVS(TM)）观测得到的170个个体，隶属于47个物种，涵盖鱼类、鲨鱼、鳐类及海蛇。本次部署的设备共采集得到14张图像。

来自所有BRUVS(TM)项目的约3500张优质图像已被存入参考图像库。

所记录的数据涵盖以下内容：
- 视场范围内的生境分类（包含地形、沉积物、底栖生物）
- 鱼类的物种身份及CAABCODES编码
- 个体的抵达时间
- 个体的行为模式（共8类，包括以诱饵为食的行为）
- 个体的成熟度（成体或幼体）
- 相对丰度指标（MaxN：即单次观测可见的最大个体数，或不同时段可明确区分的独立个体，例如体型悬殊的个体、雄性/雌性个体）
- 达到MaxN计数以及开始摄食前的耗时时长

澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（AIMS）的工作人员利用Microsoft Access开发了一款定制化界面，用于读取和分析BRUVS(TM)的录制录像带。
