Market: Aquatic Scientific Research
Product type: Plankton Net
Applications: Fresh Water Sampling, Salt Water Sampling, Vertical Water Sampling, Horizontal Water Sampling

  • The RMT (Rectangle Mid-Water) net is a sophisticated sampler used to study the vertical distribution of plankton and nekton.
  • The large size of the gear and its features improve the catch efficiency of several species.
  • There are several models, with one or two nets of different dimensions.
  • The opening is usually vertically asymmetrical (the top being more advanced than the bottom).
3 standard models exist, including:
  1. RMT1: top net with an opening of 1m² with a 
    mesh
     size of 335 microns used to catch mesozooplankton 
  2. RMT8: top net with an opening of 8m² and a mesh size of 5 mm for the capture of macroplankton 
  3. RMT25: top net with an opening of 25m² and a mesh size of 5 mm, used to catch mesopelagic fish 
  • Material: Precision Filtration 
    Nitex
     Mesh
Average Lifespan: Average Lifespan: 1 to 5 years
Installation Complexity: Quick and easy installation that requires a minimum of two (2) people
Local Product: Product made by hand in Quebec
Warranty: Lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defaults
Maintenance: Remove, rince with fresh water and dry after each use

Manufacture details: The net is made of ultra-strong and extremely precise Nitex filtration mesh. We have over 60 options of filtration mesh sizes varying from 1 to 5000 microns.

The net mouth and tail are reinforced with non-treated Cordura fabric 1000 Deniers on which grommets are added (net mouth) and a clamping device (net tail) to hold on to the cod-end. Every seam is reinforced with 3/4in webbing to guarantee an ultra-strong net

Ideal for capturing phytoplankton (smaller than 80 microns), zooplankton (60 to 600 microns) and other micro-organisms (500 to 5000 microns)
It is possible to add a chocking band on the net which is formed by passing a rope through small stainless steel rings sewn within the net, thus allowing the user to close and open the net during operation

For nets with a diameter larger than 100cm, extra reinforced webbing is added on the length of the net to maximize i's structural integrity.

Idéal pour la capture d'autres organismes (500 à 5000 microns) ou en filet de Nylon Sans Noeuds
