Researchers from the Palau International Coral Reef Center (PICRC) are currently undertaking a pilot study at a fish aggregating device (FAD) to assess whether different moon phases influence the diversity and abundance of fish species. This project is using baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS) to capture data which provides a permanent visual record of the different species encountered at sites. This survey method has not yet been trialed at FADs in Palau but is a common fish surveying tool around the world.
