Combining passive acoustic data from a towed hydrophone array with visual line transect data to estimate abundance and availability bias of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus)
In this study, we explored the challenges of combining PAM towed array data with VLT survey data when the surveys are conducted simultaneously and developed a statistical framework to estimate abundance and surface availability bias. In particular, we focused on the challenge of correcting for duplicate detections. Using simulations and a case study of sperm whales, we explored several methods that range in complexity and data requirements.
Comparison of methods used to estimate coral cover in the Hawaiian Islands
A comparison of the costs and time required for each method is presented as Table 2. The initial equipment cost varies by three orders of magnitude among methods. For example, the visual “Estimate” method takes one person several minutes and costs practically nothing while a “Towed-diver” survey requires two divers, two tow-boards, cameras, communication gear and a towing boat and crew. Considerable post-processing of the imagery is required for the video transect.
