A sampler-incubator for studying zooplankton grazing and phytoplankton production.
A new instrument to quantify the zooplankton grazing on phytoplankton and the phytoplankton growth is described. This instrument consists of two cylindrical chambers and a mechanical system for shutting, by a messenger both the chambers simultaneously. With this instrument the grazing may be evaluat...
