Between May 1995 and January 1997, extensive surveys were undertaken around Big Bank Shoals of the Timor Sea, in depths between 15 and 300m. These surveys were undertaken using remotely operated vehicles equiped with cameras. A total of 205, 50 metre video transects were recorded and later analysed using the AIMS's AVTAS system.
