Cost-efficient sampling of fish assemblages: comparison of baited video stations and diver video transects (2010, methodology): “For example, stereo-BRUV methods are designed to sample generalist carnivore species at the point of deployment (Willis & Babcock 2000, Cappo et al. 2004, Harvey et al. 2007), whilst stereo-DOV surveys are designed to sample the fish that a diver would be able to observe whilst swimming a transect…”
Underwater video techniques for observing coastal marine biodiversity: A review of sixty years of publications (1952–2012) (2014, methodology): “689 8) the vertical Baited Remote Underwater Video system of Willis and Babcock (2000) 690 reproduced with the permission of Marine and Freshwater Research 51(8), 755-763 (Trevor 691 J.

Behaviour of temperate and sub-tropical reef fishes towards a stationary SCUBA diver (2007, methodology): “…reported that SCUBA divers underestimate the abundance of common species of Labridae (Brock 1982; Watson et al. 2005), cryptic species (Brock 1982; Ackerman and Bellwood 2000; Willis 2001), and large predatory species (Davis and Anderson 1989; Jennings and Polunin 1995; Willis and Babcock 2000).”
Structure of cryptic reef fish assemblages: relationships with habitat characteristics and predator density (2003, positive): “…& Anderson: Habitat and predators may affect cryptic fish mined by a combination of visual census from 2 surveys in 2000 (25 × 5 m transects, n = 18 location–1 survey–1), and baited underwater video (Willis & Babcock 2000) from 5 surveys conducted between 1997 and 2000 (n = 4 location–1 survey–1).”

What is Big BRUVver up to? Methods and uses of baited underwater video (2017, methodology): “Vertical BRUVS were used first in the early 2000s (e.g. Willis and Babcock 2000) but have had limited use across the years, with one third of vertical set-ups occurring in deep habitats.”
Bathymetric distribution of some benthic and benthopelagic species attracted to baited cameras and traps in the deep eastern Mediterranean (2003, methodology): “The technique has its biases (see Willis & Babcock 2000), but offers a relatively low-cost method of sampling mobile fauna at great depths, as well as providing additional information on habitat and behaviour.”
A comparison of two survey methods: differences between underwater visual census and baited remote underwater video (2010, neutral): “The differences between our results and those reported by other studies (Willis & Babcock 2000, Willis et al. 2000, Watson et al. 2005) are likely to be, in part, a consequence of different approaches.”
Bait type affects fish assemblages and feeding guilds observed at baited remote underwater video stations (2013, methodology): “We used pilchards as they are a common bait for shallow BRUVS studies within Australian and New Zealand waters (Willis & Babcock 2000, Cappo et al. 2004, Watson et al. 2005, Heagney et al. 2007).”
