Hydrobiologia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Constructional details of a zooplankton and a phytoplankton sampler are given. Both samplers are designed for use in shallow limnocorrals (5 m deep enclosures) and both give samples integrated with respect to depth and offer a considerable saving in time over other sampling methods.
