Precision Sampling for Diverse Aquatic StudiesThis zooplankton net provides accurate and representative collection of zooplankton from a range of aquatic systems, including oceans, lakes, and reservoirs. Its fine mesh ensures effective capture of minute planktonic organisms, vital for environmental monitoring, academic research, and biodiversity assessments. The conical shape and detachable collection bottle simplify the sampling and transfer process.
Durable and Versatile ConstructionBuilt with corrosion-resistant stainless steel, robust nylon netting, and a sturdy polypropylene or PVC collection bottle, the net withstands rigorous field conditions. It is washable, reusable, and suitable for repeated applications, offering flexibility with customizable mesh sizes, rope lengths, and net diameters to accommodate various research needs.
FAQs of Zooplankton Net, With Collection Bottle:
Q: How is the Zooplankton Net with Collection Bottle used in the field?
A: To use the net, simply lower it by the attached rope into your target water body and tow or vertically haul it through the water. As water passes through, zooplankton are retained by the fine mesh and funneled into the detachable collection bottle at the base. The nets design ensures efficient sample recovery for analysis.
Q: What distinguishes the different mesh sizes available for this zooplankton net?
A: Mesh size determines the smallest organisms the net captures. Common sizes like 20 m, 50 m, and 63 m allow users to selectively sample plankton larger than the mesh opening, essentially targeting specific zooplankton groups according to experimental needs or environmental protocols.
Q: When should I choose polypropylene over PVC for the collection bottle?
A: Both materials are durable and chemical-resistant, but polypropylene is preferred for its lighter weight and higher resistance to many chemicals, while PVC is robust and cost-effective. Choice depends on user preference, sample type, and storage conditions.
Q: Where can the zooplankton net be effectively deployed?
A: The net is operational in a variety of aquatic settings, including oceans, lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. Its operational temperature range (0C to 40C) and customizable components make it suitable for diverse freshwater and marine environments.
Q: What maintenance procedures are recommended for this sampling net?
A: After each use, thoroughly wash the nylon mesh and collection bottle with clean water to remove any biological residues. Ensure all parts are dried before storage to maintain the nets integrity and prevent corrosion or microbial growth. The equipments reusable nature ensures longevity with proper care.
Q: How does using this net benefit environmental studies?
A: The net enables consistent, representative collection of zooplankton, which are critical indicators of water quality and ecosystem health. Sampling with standardized mesh ensures reliable data for ecological monitoring, population studies, and environmental impact assessments.
