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.Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlannedStatement: Tape reading protocols have been developed in a customised interface using Microsoft Access. The unique combination of a site and a Camera Number links all records in a series of tables in the relational database, allowing access to times that events occurred, together with reference images and reference video. The BRUVS (TM) were deployed about 350-400m apart with the prevailing wind to bracket the coordinate of each sampling site. In some instances, a stereo-video BRUVS (TM) was deployed first, followed by three or four BRUVS (TM) with single cameras. Each BRUVS (TM) consisted of a galvanized trestle-shaped frame enclosing a simple camera housing made from PVC pipe with acrylic front and rear ports. Mini-DV HandiCams with wide-angle lens adapters (0.6X) were used in the housings. Exposure was set to 'Auto', focus was set to Infinity/manual' and 'Standard Play' mode was selected to provide at least 45-60 minutes of filming at the seabed. Detachable bait arms (20 mm plastic conduit) had a 350 mm plastic mesh canister containing one kilogram of crushed oily sardines (Sardinops or Sardinella spp) as bait. BRUVS (TM) were deployed with 8 mm polypropylene ropes and polystyrene surface floats bearing a marker flag, and were retrieved with a hydraulic pot-hauler wheel. A scope length of 2 times water depth was used on the ropes.&rft.creator=Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) &rft.date=2024&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.7266; southlimit=-18.98267; eastlimit=146.7266; northlimit=-18.98267&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.7266; southlimit=-18.98267; eastlimit=146.7266; northlimit=-18.98267&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.728323; southlimit=-18.985383; eastlimit=146.728323; northlimit=-18.985383&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.728323; southlimit=-18.985383; eastlimit=146.728323; northlimit=-18.985383&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.730127; southlimit=-18.987368; eastlimit=146.730127; northlimit=-18.987368&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.730127; southlimit=-18.987368; eastlimit=146.730127; northlimit=-18.987368&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.731998; southlimit=-18.989535; eastlimit=146.731998; northlimit=-18.989535&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.731998; southlimit=-18.989535; eastlimit=146.731998; northlimit=-18.989535&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.91614; southlimit=-18.919442; eastlimit=146.91614; northlimit=-18.919442&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.91614; southlimit=-18.919442; eastlimit=146.91614; northlimit=-18.919442&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.905648; southlimit=-18.915033; eastlimit=146.905648; northlimit=-18.915033&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.905648; southlimit=-18.915033; eastlimit=146.905648; northlimit=-18.915033&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.915197; southlimit=-18.91488; eastlimit=146.915197; northlimit=-18.91488&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.915197; southlimit=-18.91488; eastlimit=146.915197; northlimit=-18.91488&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.910075; southlimit=-18.919867; eastlimit=146.910075; northlimit=-18.919867&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.910075; southlimit=-18.919867; eastlimit=146.910075; northlimit=-18.919867&rft.coverage=westlimit=147.001572; southlimit=-18.8828; eastlimit=147.001572; northlimit=-18.8828&rft.coverage=westlimit=147.001572; southlimit=-18.8828; eastlimit=147.001572; northlimit=-18.8828&rft.coverage=westlimit=147.002992; southlimit=-18.879517; eastlimit=147.002992; northlimit=-18.879517&rft.coverage=westlimit=147.002992; southlimit=-18.879517; eastlimit=147.002992; northlimit=-18.879517&rft.coverage=westlimit=147.007337; southlimit=-18.879367; eastlimit=147.007337; northlimit=-18.879367&rft.coverage=westlimit=147.007337; southlimit=-18.879367; eastlimit=147.007337; northlimit=-18.879367&rft.coverage=westlimit=147.006462; southlimit=-18.882217; eastlimit=147.006462; northlimit=-18.882217&rft.coverage=westlimit=147.006462; southlimit=-18.882217; eastlimit=147.006462; northlimit=-18.882217&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.986067; southlimit=-18.99005; eastlimit=146.986067; northlimit=-18.99005&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.986067; southlimit=-18.99005; eastlimit=146.986067; northlimit=-18.99005&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.980822; southlimit=-18.983135; eastlimit=146.980822; northlimit=-18.983135&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.980822; southlimit=-18.983135; eastlimit=146.980822; northlimit=-18.983135&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.975288; southlimit=-18.981818; eastlimit=146.975288; northlimit=-18.981818&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.975288; southlimit=-18.981818; eastlimit=146.975288; northlimit=-18.981818&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.976942; southlimit=-18.987735; eastlimit=146.976942; northlimit=-18.987735&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.976942; southlimit=-18.987735; eastlimit=146.976942; northlimit=-18.987735&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.674173; southlimit=-18.968148; eastlimit=146.674173; northlimit=-18.968148&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.674173; southlimit=-18.968148; eastlimit=146.674173; northlimit=-18.968148&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.672657; southlimit=-18.965367; eastlimit=146.672657; northlimit=-18.965367&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.672657; southlimit=-18.965367; eastlimit=146.672657; northlimit=-18.965367&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.671442; southlimit=-18.96325; eastlimit=146.671442; northlimit=-18.96325&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.671442; southlimit=-18.96325; eastlimit=146.671442; northlimit=-18.96325&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.670322; southlimit=-18.961002; eastlimit=146.670322; northlimit=-18.961002&rft.coverage=westlimit=146.670322; southlimit=-18.961002; eastlimit=146.670322; northlimit=-18.961002&rft_rights= http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/au/&rft_rights=http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nc/3.0/au/88x31.png&rft_rights=WWW:LINK-1.0-http--related&rft_rights=License Graphic&rft_rights=Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Australia License&rft_rights=http://creativecommons.org/international/au/&rft_rights=WWW:LINK-1.0-http--related&rft_rights=WWW:LINK-1.0-http--related&rft_rights=License Text&rft_rights=Use Limitation: All AIMS data, products and services are provided as is and AIMS does not warrant their fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.

Approximately 3500 of the best images from all BRUVS (TM) projects are stored in a reference library.
