Standard plankton net

Conical Nitex net for sampling phytoplankton and zooplankton, in both fresh water and the sea.
The standard plankton net is the essential tool for researchers, biologists, and field technicians. Conical in shape, it is laced onto a stainless steel ring equipped with a towing bridle and ends with a collection bucket. It is towed horizontally, vertically, or obliquely. Filmar sews every net in Saint-Fabien, Quebec. Standard models are categorized by opening diameter, with three lengths per diameter, and are available as a ready-to-deploy kit or as the net only. Custom dimensions and mesh sizes are available.

Une très belle expérience. Notre besoin était particulier et Francis à bien compris l’idée. Ses recommandations pour le type de filet et sa confection nous ont permis d’obtenir le résultats désiré. Merci à Filmar!

Amazing service! We purchased a plankton net and closing mechanism from Filmar on behalf of the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre. Francis and his team were very professional and helpful throughout the process, and all the items were very high quality.

Top quality custom made plankton nets and equipment, delivered in a timely fashion. I highly recommend Filmar Inc for your ocean sampling needs.
