A Suite of Field Manuals for Marine Sampling to Monitor Australian Waters.
(2019)
One of the main challenges in assessing marine biodiversity is the lack of consistent
approaches to monitor it. This threatens to undermine ocean best practice in marine
monitoring, as it impedes a reduction in the bias ...
Comparison of sampling methods to assess benthic marine biodiversity. Are spatial and ecological relationships consistent among sampling gear?
(Geoscience Australia, Canberra, Australia, 2015)
Marine benthic biodiversity can be measured using a range of sampling methods, including benthic
sleds or trawls, grabs, and imaging systems, each of which targets a particular community or habitat.
Due to the high cost ...
