Underwater video techniques for observing coastal marine biodiversity: A review of sixty years of publications (1952–2012) (2014, methodology): “The cost-efficiency of several observation techniques were 464 compared by Leujak and Ormond (2007) (six techniques for surveying coral communities) 465 and by Langlois et al. (2010) (stereo-BRUV versus stereo-DOV transects for observing fish 466 assemblages) (Table 9).”
photoQuad: A dedicated seabed image processing software, and a comparative error analysis of four photoquadrat methods (2012, methodology): “Nonetheless, when dealing with poorly resolved patches, obscured species boundaries, or poor raw data quality with limited resolution and contrast, point counts can be a useful alternative against region-based methods, as noted by Leujak and Ormond (2007).”
Caribbean Corals in Crisis: Record Thermal Stress, Bleaching, and Mortality in 2005 (2010, background): “Past comparisons among coral reef survey methods have demonstrated that while there are some biases among methods, most provide comparable results when comparing among similar types of observation such as percent coral cover or disturbance [44,45].”
