Description

!Important! - Download this dataset as a Darwin-Core Archive file to ensure both individualCount and organismQuantity are included. As of now, data downloads as GBIF Annotated Archives do not include organismQuantity. 

Dataset of species records extracted from video footage recorded by remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) in the marine protected area Kosterhavets nationalpark on the Swedish west-coast. The original movies were collected during 1997-2023.

This data set is based on videos of 70 transects across slopes and rock walls in the National Park at depths between 7-105 m. Species records were extracted from the movies using Yolov8 model, while depth information was extracted with the easyOCR python package from the ROV video overlays. Original videos are archived and accessible at Tjärnö Marine Laboratory’s (Univerisity of Gothenburg). The analysis was performed using the Swedish platform for subsea image analysis (www.subsim.se). We acknowledge the support of the technical officers and ROV pilots at Tjärnö Marine Laboratory, in particular Tomas Lundälv, Roger Johannesson, and Joel White.
