Description

Coastal fish species of commercial interest observed on Underwater Visual Census transects in Wallis and Futuna during the PROCFish/C surveys (2005) in Futuna, Halalo and Vailala. 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

Futuna, Halalo and Vailala in Wallis and Futuna

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

  1. Multiple observations for the same species aggregated by transect and side.
