Field Manuals for Marine Sampling in Australian Waters, Version 2.
(NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2020)
The Marine Biodiversity Hub has developed a suite of field manuals to ensure that data collected by marine sampling platforms at different times and places across Australia are directly comparable.
The Marine Sampling ...
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 [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]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 [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]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 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 [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]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 [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]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 ...
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 [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]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 [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]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 ...
AusSeabed Community Guidelines: Satellite Derived Bathymetry
(AusSeabed, Canberra, Australia, 2022)
The Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) guidelines are intended to provide users of SDB sourced from the AusSeabed portal with the required knowledge to appropriately use SDB datasets. This is not a guide on how to produce ...
Australian Multibeam Guidelines [Version 2]
The primary objective of this guideline is thus to establish common approaches of acquisition
and processing that will result in greater applicability and interoperability of swath acoustic
mapping data. These approaches ...
