Description

Oceanographic non-opening/non-closing net for vertical operations

The Indian Ocean Standard Net is the standard non-opening/non-closing plankton net for quantitative sampling of larger volumes of water during vertical tows. A 113 cm diameter stainless steel ring with a 4.7-meter long net bag, is operated in conjunction with a heavy net bucket frame for high towing rope speed during descent.

For easy retrieval, the sample is concentrated inside a removable plastic net bucket with a side window (covered with sieve gauze).

The Indian Ocean Standard Net can be used in conjunction with one Mechanical Flow Meter with a back-run stop for measurements of filtered water volume.
