Management areas are used in marine spatial planning to conserve biodiversity of marine
ecosystems and to protect fish from fishing pressure. To evaluate the effectiveness of these …

The use of remote, baited 'video fishing'techniques offer standardised, non-extractive
methodologies for estimating relative abundance of a range of marine vertebrates and …

Among the fishes, a remarkably wide range of biological adaptations to diverse habitats has
evolved. As well as living in the conventional habitats of lakes, ponds, rivers, rock pools and …

A field comparison of baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS) and prawn (shrimp)
trawls was made to assess the sampling options for describing patterns of fish biodiversity in …

Discriminating marine fish assemblages at broad scales can be difficult because of
heterogeneity within their habitats, variability in patterns of behaviour and abundance of fish …

This paper briefly reviews applications of single-video and stereo-video techniques to help
survey fish community composition and relative abundance, and fish length and weight …

Three underwater stereo-video techniques were used to sample the relative densities and
species richness of temperate reef fish assemblages at three reef locations and two habitats …

Estimates of the relative density of fishes form the basis of many marine ecological studies
as well as the assessment of effects of fishing or pollution. Plasticity in the behavioural …

The ability to make accurate estimates of fish relative abundance is the basis of both
ecological and environmental effects studies, and flawed sampling methods may give …

Underwater video has become an important tool for monitoring reef fish populations
worldwide because it is nonextractive and not strongly selective. A variety of approaches …
