Coastal fish species of commercial interest observed on Underwater Visual Census transects in Nauru during the CoFish survey (2005). The individual counts correspond to the observations by a single diver (one side) on the 50 m transect, from the transect line up to visibility (distance sampling).Sampling Description
Study Extent
All NauruSampling
The status of finfish resources in selected sites was assessed by distance-sampling underwater visual census (D-UVC). The method involves recording the species name, abundance, body length and distance to the transect line of each fish or group of fish observed; the transect consists of a 50 m line, represented on the seafloor by an underwater tape.Method steps
- Multiple observations for the same species aggregated by transect and side.
