23.01.2022 We are thrilled to announce that BRUVS data are now available on FishBase! The world’s online encyclopedia on fish makes available to users the download of BRUVS data at www.fishbase.org Across all BRUVS samples, you can search for the records of any species of interest, how many, how large and where they were found. Time-series data are also available on diversity, abundance, size and biomass for certain locations.... The scientific and tech teams from Quantitative Aquatics, FishBase and the University of Western Australia, with support from the Minderoo Foundation, worked together to provide the database with a targeted access mechanism to 1000 TB of video comprised of 150,000 records of more than 250 species from over 30 locations globally. This information is stored on UWA’s Institutional Research Data Store and other open-access video repositories.

Women can, women do, and women contribute. Good to see UN recognition on that #womeninscience.... Deploy on... See more
