The standard plankton net is a trusted essential for collecting plankton in both freshwater and marine environments. Widely used by researchers, biologists, and field technicians, it enables efficient sampling of phytoplankton and zooplankton for laboratory analysis. This cone-shaped model features a high-quality filtration funnel, available in various mesh sizes to suit the specific needs of each study. At Filmar, our scientific nets are crafted from UV- and corrosion-resistant materials, with precision finishes that ensure consistent, reliable results. Durable, accurate, and easy to deploy — it’s the perfect tool for frequent fieldwork.

Bongo and CalVet nets are designed for simultaneous double sampling, allowing researchers to collect comparable specimens under consistent conditions. The Bongo net is suited for horizontal and oblique tows, featuring two parallel openings for side-by-side sampling using different mesh sizes or treatments. The CalVet net is intended for vertical sampling, offering precise depth collection. Both models can be optionally equipped with choke bands for a controlled closure system, enhancing sampling accuracy. Filmar provides robust, research-grade designs that meet international scientific standards — trusted by oceanographers worldwide.

Plankton dip nets are designed for manual surface or tank sampling. They allow for quick collection and are ideal for spot analyses. Filmar models are made with fine mesh and sturdy frames, ensuring both precision and durability. Easy to handle, they are a fundamental tool for any aquatic sampling program — whether in freshwater or marine environments.
