摘要

Abstract

Seabed photographing has been applied with various underwater camera apparatuses (UCAs) for observations of megabenthic epifauna

which reveals more details than traditional sampling tools do. In this study

we improved a UCA named a towed underwater video-camera system (TUV system) with image processing software for seabed photographing in coastal areas up to 100 m. In May 2017

the TUV system was tested at 4 stations in the Zhangzi Island marine area in the northern Yellow Sea to investigate local megabenthic epifauna

especially brittle stars. At each station

more than 500 good seabed photographs each in area of 0.155 0 m

were obtained in just 10 min. Almost all of the epifauna larger than 1 mm could be identified from the photographs

including echinoderms

bivalves

cnidarians

and crustaceans. Three dominant brittle stars (

Ophiopholis mirabilis

Ophiura sarsii vadicola

and

Stegophiura sladeni

) were spotted

and their abundance

disc diameter

cluster size

and coverage area were calculated and analyzed from the seabed photographs. The results show that the TUV system could be applied in coastal waters of hard sandy bottoms and could be used for quantitative investigations of megabenthic epifauna.
