- Abstract
For the first time in South Africa, through a collaborative project of the Elwandle Node of the South African Environmental Observation Network (SAEON), the South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity (SAIAB), Rhodes University, the University of Western Australia, and Curtin University (Australia), stereo-BRUVs research on reef fish assemblages is being conducted within the Agulhas Ecoregion from the shallow subtidal area to the edge of the continental shelf. The purpose of this piece is to place in context the necessity of standardised research on the populations of reef fish across the continental shelf of South Africa, to put forward the case for employing stereo-BRUVs in this research, and to introduce the South African marine science community to the research possibilities available with stereo-camera systems
