dc.description.abstract | Underwater video is increasingly being used to record and research aquatic fauna in their natural
environment, and is emerging alongside Dual Frequency Identification Sonar (DIDSON) as a
powerful tool in Australian freshwater ecology. We review current progress with field-based
applications of underwater video in studying Australian freshwater fish and crustacean ecology.
Drawing upon searches of online literature databases and our expert knowledge, we located 11
relevant publications: five set in the Murray-Darling Basin, three in the Eastern Province, two in
the Northern Province and a single study in the Pilbara Province. In total, 10 studies reported
using video for fish ecology, while three studies included crustaceans. Across the 11 publications,
eight examined threatened species, while the remaining studies developed video techniques for
surveying species richness in remote or difficult to access habitats. Habitat-use was also a dominant
theme (seven studies). Seven of the eight studies that centred on threatened species focused on at
least one percichthyid species in either the Murray-Darling Basin or the Eastern Province.
Miniaturisation in equipment and increases in compact battery capacity seem to have driven a shift
from above-water battery supplies and data storage to small, inexpensive and mobile underwater
cameras. We foresee wider use of video in freshwater ecology primarily in the study of animal
behaviour and also to improve species detection in field surveys. There is scope for testing novel
techniques such as animal-borne video and unmanned underwater vehicles and making use of
video in citizen science initiatives. | |
