Abstract

Underwater video camera apparatus is an important fisheries research tool. Such cameras, developed and marketed for recreational anglers, provide an opportunity for researchers to easily obtain cost-effective and waterproof video apparatus for fisheries research. We detail a series of modifications to an inexpensive, commercially available underwater video camera (about US$125) that provide flexibility for deploying the equipment in the laboratory or in the field. Specifically, we describe the design of a junction box between the camera cable and the power supply and video feed that can be constructed for about $25. We also describe different deployment configurations and detail several examples of the data we have been able to collect using this technology.
