Description

Coastal fish species of commercial interest observed on Underwater Visual Census transects in Papua New Guinea during the PROCFish/C surveys (2006) in 4 sites Andra, Panapompom, Sidea and Tsoilaunung. 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

Andra, Panapompom, Sideia and Tsoilaunung in Papua New Guinea

Sampling

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.
