Summary

These data include down-looking images of round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) in either cobble or sand substrates within clear acrylic enclosures (0.86-meters (m) long, by 0.56-m wide, by 1.07-m high). Ten individual round goby were added to enclosures for imaging to ensure known abundances in each tank. Images were collected to evaluate the efficiency of image-based methodologies for estimating round goby abundance. All data were collected with Sony a6100 cameras in the wet lab at the USGS Great Lakes Science Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Purpose

Since their introduction to the Laurentian Great Lakes in the late 1980s, round goby have become a species of interest due to their successful competition with native benthic species and their role in the food web as prey for managed predator species and as predators on invasive mussels. Round goby are not efficiently surveyed using conventional methods (i.e., bottom trawls), but down-looking cameras show promise for capturing round gobies in a variety of habitats with sufficient water clarity. The images in this dataset were collected to help evaluate the efficiency of round goby capture on different substrates utilizing image-based collection methods.
