Protection from fishing alters the species composition of fish assemblages in a temperate-tropical transition zone (2007, methodology): “Furthermore, studies have shown that the use of bait does not preclude the sampling of prey or herbivorous fish species ( Watson et al. 2005; Harvey et al., in press).”
Underwater video techniques for observing coastal marine biodiversity: A review of sixty years of publications (1952–2012) (2014, methodology): “399 For instance, in some studies greater fish diversity was recorded with BRUV than with DOV 400 (Langlois et al., 2010), TOWV and SRUV (Watson et al., 2005), and UVC (Willis and 401 Babcock, 2000), while others show that more fish species were detected with UVC than with 402 BRUV (Tessier et al., ”
The application of predicted habitat models to investigate the spatial ecology of demersal fish assemblages (2010, background): “Research into patterns of Wsh assemblages has demonstrated the associations between benthic type and topographic complexity, both in temperate (Choat and Ayling 1987; Jenkins and Sutherland 1997; Jenkins and Wheatley 1998; Hyndes et al. 1999; O’Hara 2001; Curley et al. 2002; Giannoulaki et al. 200”
What is Big BRUVver up to? Methods and uses of baited underwater video (2017, methodology): “BRUVS have been compared to many other commonly-used techniques for assessing fish assemblages with the most common comparison being between BRUVS and Underwater Visual Census (UVC) (e.g. Stobart et al. 2007; Colton and Swearer 2010; Lowry et al. 2012) or Diver Operated Video (DOV) (Watson et al. 20”
A baited underwater video technique to assess shallow water Mediterranean fish assemblages: methodological evaluation (2007, methodology): “A wide range of fish families were attracted to the BUV, indicating that BUV is a feasible method for determining species richness, as found in other studies (Cappo et al., 2004; Watson et al., 2005).”
Cost-efficient sampling of fish assemblages: comparison of baited video stations and diver video transects (2010, methodology): “…on average, a greater number of individual reef fish species and 156 Langlois et al.: Baited video stations versus diver video transects greater abundance and/or biomass of generalist carnivore species than diver-operated stereo-video (stereoDOV) methods (Harvey et al. 2002, Watson et al. 2005).”
Factors affecting the detection distances of reef fish: implications for visual counts (2011, background): “Recent advances in video-based techniques (e.g., Willis et al. 2000; Harvey et al. 2004; Watson et al. 2005) may improve the assessment of large and mobile species by minimizing the biases introduced by the presence of observers.”
A comparison of visual‐ and stereo‐video based fish community assessment methods in tropical and temperate marine waters of Western Australia (2013, methodology): “Like UVC, stereo-DOV has been widely used to detect spatial and temporal differences in the structure of fish communities (e.g., Watson et al. 2005).”
Effects of protection from fishing on the lengths of targeted and non-targeted fish species at the Houtman Abrolhos Islands, Western Australia (2009, methodology): “Stereo BRUVs used in the present study were the same as those used by Harvey et al. (2002) and Watson et al. (2005, 2007) and are termed ‘remote’ because the systems are freestanding on the seafloor without the need for an operator.”
Spatial prediction of demersal fish distributions: enhancing our understanding of species–environment relationships (2009, methodology): “For a detailed description, comparative analysis and review of this method, refer to Cappo et al (2003, 2004), Watson et al (2005), Harvey and Shortis (1996), Harvey et al. (2001a, 2001b, 2002).”
Habitat suitability for marine fishes using presence-only modelling and multibeam sonar (2010, background): “They are capable of being deployed at depths and times that are dangerous for divers (Assis et al. 2007), provide a permanent record of survey (Watson et al. 2005), afford accurate positioning when coupled with differential GPS and acoustic positioning, enable high replication and, in the case of…”
Behaviour of temperate and sub-tropical reef fishes towards a stationary SCUBA diver (2007, methodology): “The use of bait attracts a greater diversity and abundance of fish into the field of view of the cameras (Watson et al. 2005) and therefore its addition may permit the assessment of the behaviour of a greater range of fish species and over a larger number of individuals.”
Assessing reef fish assemblage structure: how do different stereo-video techniques compare? (2010, methodology): “This observation supports the results of Watson et al. (2005) and Harvey et al. (2007) who also suggested a similar ‘sheep-eVect’.”
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.”
