Southern Surveyor Voyage SS 02/2007 Basketwork eel data count from Patience Hill

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

This dataset was created to document the scoring of a camera tow from SS2007/02 SE MPA's survey Specifically, the camera tow on Hill Patience, to derive data from the tow relating to the number of basket work eels observed. To collect this data, video footage from SS2007/02 SE MPA's camera tow on Patience Hill was observed on a monitor screen with lines marked on it - the video was stopped every five seconds, and marine fauna within the marked lines were counted, with the marked lines used in order to prevent double counting of the animals. This data was recorded in an excel spreadsheet, with a list of the different species recorded and the timecodes that they were recorded at. This data was then used in conjuction with other data from station 54 relating to the depth and structure of the seafloor, in order to determine any relation between marine life numbers and the surrounding habitat.
