Abstract
Abstract The use of baited remote underwater video surveys (BRUVS) has become increasingly prevalent in temperate ecosystems in recent years as this technique provides data on ecosystem structure and species composition. To date, no BRUVS have been performed in the Saco Bay due to natural obstacles within the region. Our modified BRUVS resulted in 66 hours of video recorded over 2 sampling periods with 17 different species of various taxa observed. A total of 623 individuals was observed based on MaxN. These baited remote underwater video surveys successfully provided ecosystem data; therefore, we suggest that it would be an ideal complementary sampling method for this region.
期刊介绍:
The Northeastern Naturalist covers all aspects of the natural history sciences of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and the environments of the northeastern portion of North America, roughly bounded from Virginia to Missouri, north to Minnesota and Nunavut, east to Newfoundland, and south back to Virginia. Manuscripts based on field studies outside of this region that provide information on species within this region may be considered at the Editor’s discretion.
The journal welcomes manuscripts based on observations and research focused on the biology of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and communities as it relates to their life histories and their function within, use of, and adaptation to the environment and the habitats in which they are found, as well as on the ecology and conservation of species and habitats. Such studies may encompass measurements, surveys, and/or experiments in the field, under lab conditions, or utilizing museum and herbarium specimens. Subject areas include, but are not limited to, anatomy, behavior, biogeography, biology, conservation, evolution, ecology, genetics, parasitology, physiology, population biology, and taxonomy. Strict lab, modeling, and simulation studies on natural history aspects of the region, without any field component, will be considered for publication as long as the research has direct and clear significance to field naturalists and the manuscript discusses these implications.
