The scientists successfully combined existing acoustic and video technology to measure 33 million tonnes of fish in part of the tropical Marine Protected Area of the British Indian Ocean Territory, recording the abundance and size of 12,335 individual fish including tuna, dolphinfish and sailfish. In a research paper published in Ecosystems, the experts said they used echo-sounders to record the acoustic ΓÇÿpingsΓÇÖ of fish from across the 3,000 sqkm survey area along with visual data from 546 deployments of baited remote underwater video systems (BRUVS) to measure the biomass of fish.
