Jellyfish and other zooplankton are animals that live all or part of their life suspended and drifting in fresh or salt water, rarely come in contact with hard surfaces.
General Information One of the simplest biological samplers, zooplankton nets are made in a wide variety of styles and sizes. The two nets in the MARMAP Bongo vertical-haul net system shown here each have a mouth diameter of about 25 cm. History The historic roots of plankton sampling reach back…
