Standard
Request a quote

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
Request a quote

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.

Dip Nets

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.

Mini Trawl

The mini plankton trawl is perfect for horizontal sampling in coastal areas, estuaries or small bodies of water. Light, maneuverable and designed for small boats, it enables efficient collection of zooplankton or phytoplankton without disturbing the ecosystem. Filmar offers durable and customizable mini trawls, with different mesh sizes to suit different research objectives. Ideal for laboratories, universities and aquatic researchers.

IKMT
Request a quote

The IKMT (Isaac-Kidd Midwater Trawl) is a specialized net used to catch large plankton or mesopelagic organisms. Drawn at intermediate depths, it is designed to minimize species avoidance and guarantee a representative sample. Filmar designs robust IKMT models, with reinforced nets and an opening adapted to towing speed. This plankton collection equipment is particularly appreciated by scientific expeditions and oceanographic monitoring programs.

Streambed Plankton Net
Request a quote

Streambed plankton nets are used for long-term sampling in stationary aquatic environments. Anchored to the bottom of rivers or other bodies of water, they enable continuous collection — ideal for studies on species presence or seasonal variation. At Filmar, our models are built with corrosion-resistant materials and designed to withstand underwater conditions, ensuring reliable plankton capture over extended periods. They are well-suited for both research projects and environmental monitoring programs.
