To date, we have completed 84 mid-water BRUVS expeditions in 48 locations globally with a total of 8,827 deployments. We have recorded 188,984 individual animals from 113 families (or higher classifications of order and class) of fish, invertebrates, marine mammals and marine reptiles.

We have also completed 70 seabed BRUVS expeditions in 33 largely Australian locations with a total of 9,396 deployments. We have recorded 686,858 individual fish from 1,579 taxa representing 179 families (or higher classifications of order and class) of fish, invertebrates, marine mammals and marine reptiles.

We are committed to making data available to colleagues and other interested parties under FAIR Principles without, in particular, requiring co-authorships.
