Data are animal counts and environment data collected during remotely operated vehicle imagery surveys in Saanich Inlet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada from 2006-2013. Each row entry equals a second of annotated ROV video with associated metadata (e.g. video file properties), water column data (e.g. depth, temperature, oxygen), or species data (presence/absence or counts). Extended details can be found with the associated README file. Data was collected as part of a PhD thesis (Chu) and is A Canadian Healthy Oceans Network Ecosystem Function project, EF-13.
