Description

Assessing temporal changes and trends in fish communities can assist with management of Darwin Harbour. The diversity and abundance of fish communities were assessed using baited remote underwater system (BRUVS), which uses 'video fishing' - recording fish attracted to a camera by standard bait and has been shown to be an effective non-extractive survey method. The approach is useful for long-term environment monitoring because non-impact nature of visual surveys enables repetitive sampling at reference sites,
