broader: plankton nets
definition: Construction is a 50 cm diameter cylindrical sampler sent to depth with the cylinder net (0.25 mm mesh) closed and upside down (cod-end facing upward). A messenger releases the bottom margin of cylinder allowing it to drop open (115 cm length) and at the same time closing half circle doors. A second messenger releases the first support bridle and the sampler turns right side up. Sampler collects about 250 litres of water [Wiebe and Benfield 2003 Plate 11 A].

definition: An open pair of 50 cm diameter circular net hoops were mounted on each end of a 150 cm wide cross-strut which was attached to a towing cable. Nets were attached to the bottom of the hoops and their cod-ends were attached to a spreader bar which was also attached to the wire. The nets were lowered to a maximum depth to haul and then during the haul back to the surface, a messenger was used to close the nets either by releasing the hoops so that they turned 90 degrees or by releasing the nets which fell back and were pursed by throttling lines attached to the cross-strut. A non-opening/closing variant of this net is known as the CalVET net [Wiebe and Benfield 2003 Plate 10 A].

A double messenger system is used to opened the net as it falls to depth and to close it as it reaches the bottom of the haul. The net ~ 180 cm in length has been used with a variety of mesh sizes; 0.163 mm, 0.560 mm, and 1600 mm Nitex. According to Daly [personal communication], the first messenger releases a bridle attached to the opening net bar under tension from a shock cord. The second messenger releases two bridles, one attached to the back of the net frame and the other attached to the closing net bar. The net frame assumes a vertical position, allowing the second net bar to fall, closing the net, and retrieval is begun.

They are equipped with an opening-closing device to prevent contamination with organisms from the upper water column and are towed from a large vessel such as a research ship. Most variations incorporate some space between the bottom and the nets, so the nets float in the water column and don't catch any sediment.

broader: demersal trawl nets
definition: A funnel-shaped net designed to trap organisms at its closed-end while being trawled along the seafloor. It is composed of a non-fixed wide mouth attached to the main wire and held open horizontally by an otter board at each side; a tickler chain is mounted across the lower edge of the net to keep it in contact with the ground, whereas a float fixed to the top of the net ensures its vertical spread. Typically, a semi-balloon otter trawl has a mouth size of approximately 2m x 8.5m; the net has a fine mash and it is mounted to a head rope of maximum 14m in length. This type of trawl is ideal for deep-water sampling of megafauna near the seafloor, mostly for conducting species diversity, abundance and biomass studies. The semi-balloon otter trawl is also known as OTSB, OTSB 14 and Marinovitch Trawl. Ref: Methods for the Study of Marine Benthos, fourth edition by WILEY Blackwell.

definition: The semi-balloon trawl (OTSB14), complete with "V" doors was originally obtained from the Marinovich Trawl Company (Biloxi, Mississippi, USA). It was constructed of 4.4 cm stretch mesh body and 3.7 cm mesh intermediate and cod end, with a 1.3 cm inner liner in the cod end. Buoyancy on the headline was provided by one centrally placed glass sphere having a positive buoyancy of 5 kg. Twenty three 13 x 15 cm plastic mud rollers were spaced evenly along the footrope (17 m), with three loops of 6 mm chain in between each set. A pair of sweep lines on each side separated the "V" doors by 7 m from the wing ends of the net. The height of the wing ends between headline and footrope was 1.5 m. The doors, each measuring 1.5 x 1 m and weighing 180 kg; were connected by bridles 50 m in length, through a swivel to the single trawl warp. Reference: Merrett, N.R. and Marshall, N.B., 1980.

definition: A free-flushing water sample bottle comprising a cylinder (polycarbonate, acrylic or PVC) with a stopper at each end. The bottle is closed by means of a messenger from the surface releasing the tension on a latex band and thus pulling the two stoppers firmly into place. A thermometer can be mounted inside the bottle. One or more bottles can be lowered on a line to allow sampling at a single or multiple depth levels. Van Dorn samplers are suitable for for physical (temperature), chemical and biological sampling in shallow to very deep water. Bottles are typically lowered vertically through the water column although a horizontal version is available for sampling near the seabed or at thermoclines or chemoclines. Because of the lack of metal parts the bottles are suitable for trace metal sampling, although the blue polyurethane seal used in the Alpha version may leach mercury. The Beta version uses white ASA plastic seals that do not leach mercury but are less durable.

definition: An epoxy resin-coated steel torpedo-shaped object designed to be towed alongside a moving ship at speeds of 1-12 knots. A teflon-lined tube runs through the centre of the fish and is connected to a pump on board the ship. Stabilising fins at the rear of the fish ensure that the sampling hose points forwards and that the fish maintains a roughly constant depth. The system is typically used for continuous, underway, clean sampling (e.g., trace metal studies) of near-surface waters.

definition: Manual water sample collection system used during the RAPID ISOMAP-UK project. It comprises a sample container attached to the end of an extendable pole marked with target depths. The container is fitted with a sealing plug attached to a long cord. Samples are obtained by lowering the pole (or just the container for surface samples) vertically into the water. At the required depth the cord is pulled, thereby removing the plug and filling the container. After 30 seconds the container is brought slowly to the surface and the sample transfered to a storage bottle.

broader: continuous water samplers
definition: A system designed for continuous, underway, clean sampling of near-surface waters. A hollow stainless steel shaft holding a high density polyethylene (HDPE) tube is submerged beneath a vessel through a hole in the hull. The inlet head is located 1.7 m below the keel and features a sieve-like Teflon cap. Water is pumped from the inlet through a serial ball-valve panel from which it can be directed to different sampling facilities. Flow is maintained by chemically inert double membrane pump driven by compressed air. HDPE tubing is used throughout the system and the valves are composed of polypropylene and Teflon, thereby ensuring that the sampled water remains clean and suitable for trace metal analyses. The system was developed by what was then the Institut fur Meereskunde at Kiel University.

version info: 1
broader: continuous air samplers
definition: A device designed to remove particulates from an air, gas or liquid stream through vortex separation. A high speed rotating flow is established within a vertical cylindrical or conical container, where the stream to be separated is fed in the top (wide) end, flows helically around the container to the bottom (narrow) end and then exits the cyclone in a straight stream through the centre and out the top. Instead of following the flow of the stream, the inertia of large (dense) particles causes them to hit the sides of the container and fall to the bottom, where they can be removed. The cyclone geometry and flow rate define a cut point, which is the size of the particle that will be removed from the stream with 50% efficiency. Larger particles will be removed with a greater efficiency and smaller particles with a lower efficiency. The sampler may be used in series with filters designed to collect different target particles.

It has a typical sampling area of 0.25 m2 (0.2 m2 - 0.29 m2) and a penetration depth up to 30 cm. This grab consists of a rectangular (but sometimes triangular) frame forming a stable support for a sampling bucket attached to a pivoted arm. On reaching the seabed, tension in the wire is released which causes the sampling bucket to pivot through 90 degrees pushing seabed sediment into the bucket. The bucket locates onto an inclined rubber-covered steel plate, sealing it completely. Weights are attached to the grab to minimize the lateral movement of the supporting frame during sample collection.

To collect a core sample, the corer is lowered down to the seabed on the end of a wire, stopping a set distance above. It is then lowered at a set speed into the sediment to obtain the sample, before being raised to the surface, it is dismantled and the polycarbonate core liner encasing the sample is removed. The weight can vary between 100kg to 1000kg. Depending on the size of the sample tube, the corer is capable of collecting sediments between 1-4 m in length.

A piston is fitted inside the PVC liner and is attached to a wire, which runs inside the corer barrel, through a hole in the centre of the weight and is attached to the main deployment wire. The corer is lowered on a wire to the seabed and a trigger system causes the core barrel to free fall into the sediment to collect samples. The action of the piston reduces internal friction allowing long cores to be collected. Core samples of 90mm and 110mm diameter can be taken. Up to five sections of 5.4 metre-long barrels can be fitted depending on the type of sediment being sampled.

definition: A marine geological tool that recovers undisturbed soft surface sediments. It is designed for minimum disturbance of the sediment surface by bow wave effects. Traditionally, it consists of a weighted stem fitted to a square sampling box. The corer is lowered vertically until it impacts with the seabed. At this point the instrument is triggered by a trip as the main coring stem passes through its frame. While pulling the corer out of the sediment a spade swings underneath the sample to prevent loss. When hauled back on board, the spade is under the box.

alternative label: Ponar grab
broader: sediment grabs
definition: Developed in the mid-1960s (Powers and Robertson 1967), ponar grabs are used to sample coarse or fine, undisturbed sediment from the sea floor. It consists of a pair of weighted, tapered jaws held open by a catch bar across the top of the sampler. On touching the bottom, the tension bar is released, allowing the jaws to move and close. The device is activated by the release of the cable tension on the lifting mechanism when the sampler reaches the sediment. During retrieval, the tension on the cable keeps the jaws closed. It has a pair of metal side plates which prevents the sampler from falling over after the jaws' closure. Its jaws overlap to minimise sample washout during ascent. Depending on the variant (standard or petite), the sampled area can be between approx. 15-23 cm sq. (approx. 1000 - 7250 cubic metres).

definition: A programmable water sampler developed in-house, originally designed for use with a Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR). It can also be deployed on moorings, ROV or AUV platforms and towed-vehicle systems, to determine the species of marine plankton or for capturing marine contaminents. A pump collects up to 16 individual samples into gas-impermeable 250 ml bags, each within protective enclosures, which can be pre-filled with preservative. Sampling can be set-up via a Windows software interface, allowing the user to programme for water samples to be taken at specific times. It also has the capability for remote control sampling through an Iridium satellite interface, allowing remote sampling activation. Each bag fill can be performed either as a one shot operation, or as a repeat fill. The repeat fill feature allows a sample bag to be filled gradually over a period of time, with the amount of fill for each stage being preset through the user interface. Larger sampling bags can also be fitted as necessary. The sampler operates up to approximately 20 m depth, and can pump 100 ml in approximately 90 seconds.

alternative label: Reineck box corer
broader: unconsolidated sediment corers
definition: A marine geological tool that recovers undisturbed soft surface sediments, based on the design by Hans-Erich Reineck (1963). Also referred to as a 'spade' corer, it is designed for minimum disturbance of the sediment surface by bow wave effects. Traditionally, it consists of a weighted stem fitted to a square sampling box. The corer is lowered vertically until it impacts with the seabed. At this point the instrument is triggered by a trip as the main coring stem passes through its frame. While pulling the corer out of the sediment a spade swings underneath the sample to prevent loss. When hauled back on board, the spade is under the box.

alternative label: Duncan Ass. Shipek
broader: sediment grabs
definition: A center-pivot sampler designed to sample unconsolidated sediments from soft ooze to hard-packed silts from deep lakes and near offshore. The sampler scoops a sediment sample from the top 10cm of the seabed. It brings up virtually un- disturbed, unwashed samples to the surface from any depth. Its specialty is sampling benthic organisms living at or immediately below the water/bottom interface and sediment containing a significant population of non-sessile forms. When the grab touches the bottom, inertia from a self-contained weight releases a catch and helical springs rotate the inner half cylinder by 180 degrees. After turning, the scoop remains closed by the residual torque of the scoop spring. Because the rotation of the bucket is very rapid, its shear strength is far greater than the sediment strength, thus cutting cleanly, particularly in soft clays, muds, silts and sands. Manufactured in 316 stainless steel with a sampling area of 0.042m sq. There is the option of adding a landing table.

definition: The KC Pore-water pressing bench allows pore-water extraction of any kind of sediments, from sediments rich in organic material, to sandy sediments. Sediment cores are segmented and placed in the pressing house, which is closed by means of the handle on top of the house. An over-pressure is applied (fed-in) at the reduction valve and the valves of the houses in operation are opened. The resulting compression of the sediment matrix leads to expelling of the pore-water, which is sampled in containers beneath the pressing house. Operation in a glove bag prevents atmospheric contamination with, for example, oxygen, so anaerobic analysis of the pore-water is possible. The standard cylinders are made from black Polyoxymethylene (POM). However, the cylinders and all accessories are also available as AISI 316 stainless steel for special purposes. The pressing bench consists of 5 pressing houses, each 100 ml. They can hold a maximum sample diameter of 40 mm. The instrument has a maximum operating pressure of 4 bar (400 kPa).
