Preface
The Australian Institute of Marine
Science’s Long-term Monitoring Program annually monitors the cover
of benthic organisms, reef fish abundance and crown-of-thorns
starfish populations on various reefs of the Great Barrier Reef.
Both reef fish and assemblages of benthic organisms are monitored
using permanently marked transects.
This is Standard Operational
Procedure number nine, produced by the Long-term Monitoring
Program at the Australian Institute of Marine Science. This volume
details the procedures for the use of video to sample reef benthos
along permanent transects and for analysis of video transects in
the laboratory using AVTAS, a software system developed at the
Institute.
