THE USE OF A LARGE CAPACITY PORTABLE PUMP FOR PLANKTON SAMPLING, WITH NOTES ON PLANKTON PATCHINESS

摘要

A centrifugal pump with rated capacity of 100 gallons/minute was used for plankton sampling in Puget Sound. The pumped water was passed through especial filtering unit and damage to the plankters was negligible. The use of large capacity pumps is recommended for further investigations of horizontal and vertical distribution of plankton.
