Improvement of the pre-deployment net closure procedure used with opening/closing plankton nets1

Merritt D. Tuel and George A. Knauer

Moss Landing Marine Laboratories P.O.Box 223, Moss Landing, CA 95039, USA

Received on May 1, 1982; accepted on June 1, 1982

The construction of a closing device to be used during the deployment of phyto-zooplankton nets utilizing General Oceanics-type opening/closing mechanisms is described. This device (the cowl) decreases system set-up time, decreases contamination from ambient particles while waiting for deployment, protects the net from mechanical tears during descent, and increases system reliability.
