What is Big BRUVver up to? Methods and uses of baited underwater video (2017, methodology): “Bait also increased the number of predatory and scavenging species, while not affecting the numbers of herbivorous and omnivorous fishes seen, and baited replicates were better able to detect changes between habitat types (Harvey et al. 2007; Bernard and Götz 2012; Dorman et al. 2012).”
Examining the utility of alternative video monitoring metrics for indexing reef fish abundance (2014, background): “Powered underwater sampling gears such as autonomously operated vehicles and submersibles are often used to sample in deep water, but the cost of these vehicles can be prohibitive and the movement of the gear has been shown to alter the behavior of some fish taxa (Barans 1986; Parker and Ross 1986; ”
The application of predicted habitat models to investigate the spatial ecology of demersal fish assemblages (2010, methodology): “Sampling sites were separated by a minimum of 500 metres on any 1 day, to avoid the potential overlap of bait plumes and reduce the likelihood of measuring the same individual in adjacent samples ( Harvey et al. 2007 ).”
Climate-change induced tropicalisation of marine communities in Western Australia (2012, background): “Currently, in Western Australia, the identification of indicator species is linked to fisheries value or is an outcome of broadscale regional sampling programs such as those using stereo-baited remote video systems (Harvey et al. 2007).”
Spatial prediction of demersal fish distributions: enhancing our understanding of species–environment relationships (2009, background): “Sampling sites were separated by a minimum of 500 m on a given day to preclude the overlap of bait plumes and to reduce the likelihood of measuring the same fish in adjacent samples (Harvey et al., 2007).”
Underwater video techniques for observing coastal marine biodiversity: A review of sixty years of publications (1952–2012) (2014, background): “An array of species can be observed, in 186 particular those not approaching the bait bag because of fish behaviour or competition for the 187 bait (Cappo et al., 2004; Harvey et al., 2007).”
Bait type affects fish assemblages and feeding guilds observed at baited remote underwater video stations (2013, methodology): “In contrast, Harvey et al. (2007) did not detect differences in the feeding groups attracted to their baited units in a similar but Western Australian temperate reef system.”
A comparison of two survey methods: differences between underwater visual census and baited remote underwater video (2010, neutral): “A BRUV unit would sample 314 m2 if the odour only dispersed 10 m from the bait in 30 min (Willis et al. 2000), which is most likely a significant underestimate (Willis et al. 2000, Harvey et al. 2007, Heagney et al. 2007).”
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’.”
Cost-efficient sampling of fish assemblages: comparison of baited video stations and diver video transects (2010, methodology): “…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 of a…”
