Title
Testing the influence of survey method for building species distribution models of marine fishes
Accurate estimates of fish species occurrence are important to any species’ assessments and habitat suitability model. However, surveys of marine fishes are often biased by method. Surveys of marine fishes are often biased by method. Such bias could influence the interpretation of any habitat suitability model. With increasing emphasis on non-destructive sampling, underwater video techniques are commonly used without a thorough understanding of their advantages and disadvantages. This study compared data collected from baited remote underwater stereo-video systems and towed-video systems to provide occurrence data to develop habitat suitability models of nine temperate marine fishes. While numerous studies have compared modelling approaches in terms of model performance (i.e. via AUC or Kappa) the point of this paper was to highlight how very sensiblelooking, well-performing (based on AUC) models can provide different predictions of habitat suitability depending on which dataset is used.
