Marine Sampling Field Manual for Pelagic Stereo BRUVS (Baited Remote Underwater Videos) [Version 1]. [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]
(NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2018)
This manual
relates to gear designed to acquire digital video imagery of macro-organisms living in
the ocean’s water column, from small zooplankton (Letessier et al. 2013a)
to marine mega-vertebrates (Letessier ...
Marine Sampling Field Manual for Towed Underwater Camera Systems [Version 1]. [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]
(NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2018)
As still and video cameras can be mounted to tow bodies in a variety of ways (Figure 7.2, Table 7.1), this field manual does not mandate specific gear types. Rather, it provides
recommendations
for ...
Marine Sampling Field Manual for Grabs and Box Corers [Version 1]. [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]
(NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2018)
This Grab and Box Corer Field Manual includes gear designed to sample unconsolidated sediment
and organisms on the seafloor.
General steps are outlined in Figure 9.1 and described in detail in
the sections ...
Marine Sampling Field Manual for Benthic Sleds and Bottom Trawls [Version 1]. [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]
(NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2018)
This Sled and Trawl Field Manual includes gear designed to sample organisms on the seafloor,
excluding microbes and meiofauna
(see chapters in Eleftheriou and Mcintyre 2005, Danovaro 2010 for such methods). ...
Marine Sampling Field Manual for Benthic Stereo BRUVS (Baited Remote Underwater Videos) [Version 1]. [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]
(NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2018)
This benthic stereo-BRUVs Field Manual includes gear designed to acquire imagery of demersal
fish assemblages and their habitat within the field of view. A separate manual will address sampling
pelagic fish ...
Marine Sampling Field Manual for AUV's (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) [Version 1]. [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]
(NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2018)
The primary aim of this field manual is to establish a consistent approach to marine benthic
sampling using AUVs and facilitate statistically sound comparisons between studies. This manual
will focus on hover class ...
Statistical Considerations for Monitoring and Sampling [Version 1]. [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]
(NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2018)
This chapter will not follow the usual presentation for statistical design in ecology. Rather, we will
focus on what we believe to be most important aspects from a practical (and management) ...
Seafloor Mapping Field Manual for Multibeam Sonar [Version 1]. [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]
(NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2018)
This manual refers to the use of multibeam or interferometric echosounders (referred herein as just
multibeam or MBES) to conduct surveys of seafloor bathymetry and backscatter that can be used to
derive maps of ...
Field Manuals for Marine Sampling to Monitor Australian Waters, Version 1. [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]
(NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2018)
Australia has one of the world’s largest marine estates that includes many vulnerable habitats and a high biodiversity, with many endemic species crossing a wide latitudinal range. The marine estate is used by a variety ...
Comparative assessment of seafloor sampling platforms.
(Geoscience Australia, Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2018)
The Australian Marine Parks are the largest network of marine protected areas in the world, and their establishment means that Australia is now tasked with managing an area almost 3.3 million km2. In addition, Australia ...
