Abstract :
Multiple opening zooplankton nets are used by marine scientists to study the marine biology and environment. These devices are generally fitted with a variety of instruments to aid in scientific research programs. The Easy Zooplankton Net Logger (EZNET) is a data acquisition unit designed and built for such a net, The EZNET is battery powered and can be easily operated and deployed from smaller vessels and ships of opportunity without the need for conducting cable or slip rings. The electronics capability is flexible and can accomodate different sensors according to each individual need.
