| Abstract: | Baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS) are becoming a widely used technique for monitoring reef fish, but with few studies having so far used BRUVS in seagrass meadows, it remains unclear how they perform within these habitats in South Australia. This study was conducted as an Honours degree project, with support from the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources. The aims of this study were to trial the use of BRUVS in shallow seagrass habitats, and to compare marine animals observed at American River (Pelican Lagoon) Aquatic Reserve to two broadly-similar locations on Kangaroo Island that have had no protection. |
