Comparison of visual census and underwater video for fish sampling in Neotropical reservoirs
Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2020Different techniques have been employed for fish surveys in freshwater impoundments, however, despite the increasing applicability of underwater video systems for fish sampling in different aquatic ecosystems, such technology has not been tested in reservoirs.

Coral Reefs, 2013 Movement patterns of some coral reef fishes change with natural cycles (e.g., tidal, lunar and seasonal), resulting in short-term shifts in fish assemblages. We reviewed the literature on temporal changes in coral reef fish assemblages derived from underwater visual census (UVC) and found that movement was rarely considered in experimental design and ...

Improvement of fish length estimates for underwater visual census of reef fish biomass
Journal of Applied Ichthyology, 2015Summary Accuracy and precision are of great importance in the assessment of reef fish biomass when conducting an underwater visual census (UVC). Quantification and subsequent correction of the bias is required in order to standardize the estimates and correct for underwater distortion.

Compensating for length biases in underwater visual census of fishes using stereo video measurements
Marine and Freshwater Research, 2014Underwater visual census (UVC) is a widely used technique for estimating species richness, abundance, and lengths of reef fishes. The technique has the advantage of being non-destructive, and can therefore be used for monitoring in marine protected areas.

Monitoring is essential for effective conservation and management but the ability of monitoring to deliver accurate and precise measures of changes in abundance is often not evaluated, particularly in marine studies. Here we use long-term datasets from three New Zealand marine reserves to evaluate the capacity of underwater visual census monitoring to ...

We developed and tested a new visual census technique to quantify the importance of vertical habitat structure on the associated fish assemblages in the littoral zone of a freshwater lake. We demonstrated that the primary environmental gradient, accounting for the most variation in the species data, represented a temporal gradient of seasonal ...

Science of the Total EnvironmentFish monitoring is essential for assessing the effects of natural and anthropic stressors on marine ecosystems. In this context, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding appears to be a promising tool, due to its efficiency in species detection. However, before this method can be fully implemented in monitoring programs, more studies are needed to ...

Total biomass estimation of large fishes is affected by underwater visual census method
Marine Ecology Progress SeriesDifferences amongst diver-based underwater visual census (UVC) methods may influence how fish assemblages are described and interpreted ecologically. Here we compared 2 common UVC protocols across 32 tropical and 10 temperate reef sites spanning Australia to assess observational biases associated with diver counts.

Abstract Underwater visual census (UVC) is one of the more frequently used methods for monitoring of subtidal fish communities. However, population estimates from UVC are plagued by numerous biases that ultimately reduce the diagnostic power of the data.
