Epibenthic sledge, 80 x 30 cm
19.750 - Epibenthic sledge:
Application:
The epibenthic sledge is a system for sampling benthic and
benthopelagic faunas. The epibenthic sledge consists of a
rectangular frame with a mesh net attached to it. When towed along
the seabed, its weight scrapes into the benthos, collecting any
organisms on the surface or in the first centimetres of
sediment.
General:
A mechanically operated flap closes the net during deployment and
opens when the sledge touches the bottom. The net will also collect
the organisms in the water column just above the benthos (25 cm
above the seabed).
Details of the closing mechanism:
A mechanically operated flap closes the net and opens
when the sledge touches the bottom.
