Video transects as a complement to underwater visual census to study reserve effect on fish assemblages [PDF]
Aquatic Biology, 2013 The present study focuses on the use of diver-operated video (DOV) as a tool to evaluate the impact of a marine reserve on a fish assemblage, in comparison to underwater visual census (UVC).

Design of Sliding Mode Autopilot with Steady-state Error Elimination for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles [PDF]
, 2006 Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have nonlinear and time-varying behaviour and unmodelled dynamics. This paper describes the design, development and evaluation of nonlinear sliding mode autopilot system for an AUV to control the speed, steering and ...

Underwater Visual Census of Deeper Vertical Rocky Reefs [PDF]
Turkish Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2020 Diver-based underwater visual census (UVC), particularly transect-based survey, is a widely used method for the study of tropical and temperate fish assemblages. However, due to logistical constraints associated with conventional SCUBA diving, deeper habitats, such as vertical rocky reefs, are rarely studied and poorly known.

Enhancing fish Underwater Visual Census to move forward assessment of fish assemblages: An application in three Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 Monitoring fish assemblages is needed to assess whether Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are meeting their conservation and fisheries management goals, as it allows one to track the progress of recovery of exploited species and associated communities. Underwater Visual Census techniques (UVC) are used to monitor fish assemblages in MPAs.

A comparison of two survey methods: differences between underwater visual census and baited remote underwater video [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2010 Essential to any model, conservation or management plan are measures of the distribution and abundance of a species. Countless methods for estimating these parameters exist, making it essential to assess the limitations and biases associated with a particular sampling protocol.

Determining Methods of Underwater Visual Census for Estimating the Abundance of Coral Reef Fishes [PDF]
Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2000 We aimed to determine optimal methods of underwater visual census (UVC) for estimating the abundance of coral reef fishes exploited by fisheries in the tropical Pacific. Two main methods were tested using SCUBA: strip transect and stationary point counts.
