Marine diatoms, foraminifer, copepod

#1 Post by c-krebs » Fri May 29, 2020 7:10 am

Made a couple of trips to Puget Sound. Here are a few of the resulting images. The first two, and the foraminifer are from algae collected at a low tide. The second and third were collected with a plankton net

Amazing shots. 3rd one is my favourite.

What mesh size plankton net did you use?

Thanks for the replies. My plankton net has an 80 micron mesh. I use it with a fishing pole off, and generally work with it off fishing piers or boating docks.

Do like the casting rod idea. It makes using a plankton net a much more viable proposition. Thanks

Yes it's worked out well. But you do get some strange looks from people wanting to know what you are fishing for ;-)
I once even had a fish & wildlife enforcement officer come up to me wondering what i was doing.
