The McLane Zooplankton Sampler: an autonomous, time-series, zooplankton sampling instrument

The McLane Zooplankton Sampler (ZPS 6-50) is a re-engineered and thoroughly updated version of a decade-old instrument, the Butman-Doherty Plankton Pump. The new design incorporates the successful features of the old instrument while addressing a number of known shortcomings with innovative new materials and up-to-date hardware, software, and electronics. The design changes have been guided by the field experience of investigators who have used the original instruments and by the critiques generated during peer review of those early experiments
