This dataset is a summary of all surveys season 2014 to 2022 (excluding 2021) in which the 11 sites across the Derwent Estuary and D'Entrecasteaux Channel were assessed. The data describes the search effort (transect length, swathed area) and counts of handfish observed on each transect, including size measurements (total length) and depth records for each sighted fish.Maintenance and Update Frequency: annuallyStatement: Population surveys of spotted handfish (Brachionichthys hirsutus) were conducted during the non-breeding season (March – August) of 2014-2019. Surveys were conducted at 9 different location within the Derwent Estuary and 2 additional location in D'Entrecasteaux Channel. Data were collected using a variable length, GPS tracked underwater visual census method. Divers swam abreast approximately 0.5m-1m above the sediment to search for fish while towing a surface float with GPS housed onboard. The GPS tracked the position of the divers in real time and allowed extraction of spatial data post-hoc to determine searched distance to parameterise each transect. When B. hirsutus were located along the transect a series of photographs were taken to record the time of the sighting for cross-referencing with GPS spatial logs to determine the location of each sighting. The total length of each fish was measured to the nearest millimetre using a ruler placed laterally adjacent to the fish.&rft.creator=Lynch, Tim

Brief description

Dive surveys were conducted in 2014 and the same sites resurveyed annually until 2022 (excluding 2021), to establish a baseline and monitor the status of the critically endangered spotted handfish (Brachionichthys hirsutus) population. This dataset is a summary of all surveys season 2014 to 2022 (excluding 2021) in which the 11 sites across the Derwent Estuary and D'Entrecasteaux Channel were assessed. The data describes the search effort (transect length, swathed area) and counts of handfish observed on each transect, including size measurements (total length) and depth records for each sighted fish.

Lineage

Maintenance and Update Frequency: annually
Statement: Population surveys of spotted handfish (Brachionichthys hirsutus) were conducted during the non-breeding season (March – August) of 2014-2019. Surveys were conducted at 9 different location within the Derwent Estuary and 2 additional location in D'Entrecasteaux Channel. Data were collected using a variable length, GPS tracked underwater visual census method. Divers swam abreast approximately 0.5m-1m above the sediment to search for fish while towing a surface float with GPS housed onboard. The GPS tracked the position of the divers in real time and allowed extraction of spatial data post-hoc to determine searched distance to parameterise each transect. When B. hirsutus were located along the transect a series of photographs were taken to record the time of the sighting for cross-referencing with GPS spatial logs to determine the location of each sighting. The total length of each fish was measured to the nearest millimetre using a ruler placed laterally adjacent to the fish.
