Effects of net, pump and bottle sampling on the abundance estimates of planktonic Rotifera

Eighty-seven freshwater plankton samples collected by means of two different nets, a submersible centrifugal pump and a 5.81 water bottle were compared with respect to their ability to catch the rotifer Keratella cochlearis. Sample size, illumination (day/night), the presence of bridles ahead of the...
