Description

Human-annotated benthic observations from AUV and ROV transects in Kjerkvika in 2025. The dataset links organism identifications and counts to image/video frames, transects, dates, coordinates, depth, and seabed context. Records are published as Darwin Core occurrences derived from image-based seabed mapping and include mixed taxonomic resolution, annotation notes, and media references.

Method step description:

  1. Benthic seabed survey using AUV/ROV video transects in Kjerkvika. Human annotators reviewed video frames and images and recorded observed organisms, counts, seafloor type, and notes, together with associated transect, frame/time, coordinate, and depth metadata. Survey mapping was done by Aspecto on behalf of Organic Seafarm.
