POV: BRUV Episode 8 - Marbled stingray in Papua New Guinea We spotted not one but a few(!) marbled stingray (Taeniurops meyeni) on our remote cameras while conducting scientific surveys in Papua New Guinea. These striking creatures can measure up to 11 feet long and weigh up to 330 pounds, and their distinctive patterns change as they age. One of their biggest threats worldwide is being caught as bycatch in industrial fishing nets, including during trawling. Baited remote underwater video systems (BRUVs) are a scientific surveying tool that uses unmanned high-definition cameras to spot and record species on a reef. In this #POVBRUV series, we leave the humans behind and watch what happens.
