Description Standard plankton net is the most commonly used
apparatus for collection of plankton (IOE- Standard
net has 1m2 mouth and mesh width of 300 μm). It
comprises a cone of bolting silk (or equivalent
material) mounted on a ring or hoo
p to which are
attached three thin rope bridles spliced to a small ring
by means of which the net can be shackled to a towing
rope or warp (Fig.1). A weight is attached to the warp
to facilitate sinking of the net to the required depth
and to keep horizontal opening. Horizontal or oblique
haul is commonly employed though vertical haul can
also be made as desired with suitable change in the
attachment of weight.
