POV: BRUV Episode 10 - The midnight snapper Our remote cameras spotted this striking midnight snapper navigating the reef during our scientific surveys in Papua New Guinea. While adults sport this distinctive yellow-and-black look, their juveniles are completely different, flashing a bold black-and-white pattern that helps them hide among protected corals and sea sponges. Don’t let their casual daytime cruising fool you—these fish are nocturnal specialists, hunting for zooplankton in the depths of night. They are also known for their remarkable longevity, with scientists discovering individuals that have lived for over 80 years. 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.
