TL;DR: The results reveal the profound impact that fishing has had on reef shark populations: no sharks on almost 20% of the surveyed reefs, and shark depletion was strongly related to socio-economic conditions such as the size and proximity of the nearest market, poor governance and the density of the human population.

TL;DR: An investigation of how increasing the distance and angle to objects of interest affected the measurement accuracy and precision achievable with high-definition and medium-resolution PAL stereo-video systems found that higher definition stereo- video imagery allows objects to be measured more accurately and precisely over greater ranges.

TL;DR: Barrow Island Gorgon Barrow Island Net Conservation Benefits Fund (NCBBSF) as discussed by the authors is an Australian Government's National Environmental Science Program (NESP) program.

TL;DR: Assessment of the impact of PHC protection and harvesting on the abundance, length, biomass, and wariness of target species using stereo-DOVs in Fiji suggests that fish wariness is the most sensitive indicator of fishing pressure, followed by biomass,length, and abundance.

TL;DR: It is found that the abundance and biomass of sharks was approximately two and four times greater in shallow and deep locations, respectively, within the Namena reserve compared to adjacent fished areas.
