Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Seabed Biodiversity Project - baited remote underwater video station (BRUVS (TM)) surveys of vertebrates
The dataset comprises 39,989 individuals from 347 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at 366 sites from 1585 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS) videos. There are over 17,000 images referenced by site, with 2,200 of the best images 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.The custom interface developed by AIMS staff, BRUVS2.1mdb©, Australian Institute of Marine Science 2006, added this data to, and called up, 'operations' data collected at sea when each BRUVS was deployed. The unique combination of a site and a Camera Number links all records in all tables of the relational database, allowing access to times that events occurred, together with reference images and reference video.
To detect species richness and diversity of fishes sharks, rays and sea snakes below the limits of safe SCUBA diving.
The data is an output from the 'Great Barrier Reef Seabed Biodiversity Project', a collaboration between the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), the Queensland Department of Primary Industries & Fisheries (QDPIF), and the Queensland Museum (QM). The project was funded by the CRC Reef Research Centre, the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation and the National Oceans Office, and led by Drs R. Pitcher (Principal Investigator, CSIRO), P. Doherty (AIMS), J. Hooper (QM) and N. Gribble (QDPIF).

- Statement
- Statement: Baited Remote Underwater Video Stations (BRUVS) The consisted of a galvanized roll-bar frame enclosing a simple camera housing made from PVC pipe with acrylic front and rear ports. Bait arms (20 mm plastic conduit) and 6 kg galvanised ballast weights were attached and detached during and after deployment. The 1.5m bait arm held a 350 mm plastic mesh bait canister containing one kilogram of crushed pilchards, Sardinops neopilchardus. BRUVS were deployed with 8mm, polyethylene, floating pot ropes and two 30cm surface floats bearing a flag, and were retrieved with a pot hauler.SonyTM MiniDV Handicams (model TRV19) with wide-angle lenses (0.5X adapters)were used in the housings. Exposure was set to 'Auto', focus was set to 'Infinity/manual', MiniDV tapes (Panasonic AY-DVM83PQ) were loaded, SP recording mode used and time codes were laid on the tapes. The BRUVS were deployed to provide 83 minutes of film and were set equidistantly apart (1km-2km) along depth contours to provide independence of each replicate unit.Further information is available in:Cappo M, Harvey E, Malcolm H and Speare P (2003) Potential of video techniques to monitor diversity, abundance and size of fish in studies of Marine Protected Areas. In: Beumer JP, Grant A and Smith DC (eds) Aquatic Protected Areas - what works best and how do we know?, World Congress on Aquatic Protected Areas proceedings, Cairns, Australia, August 2002. p 455-464.Cappo M, Speare P and De'ath G (2004) Comparison of Baited Remote Underwater Video Stations (BRUVS) and prawn (shrimp) trawls for assessments of fish biodiversity in inter-reefal areas of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology 302(2),123-152.All the BRUVS sets deeper than 80m provided very gloomy, grainy footage that could be interrogated only by adjusting the brightness and colour balance of the screen on the tape player. At this time of year, and in these coastal waters, these depths are at the lower limit of penetration of daylight. Beyond them artificial lighting must be employed to obtain useful footage
