Benthic Grab Samplers

Two sizes of the well-known Van Veen grab sampler are offered:
  • Standard: stainless with 0.1 m.sq. sampling area
  • Small: stainless with 0.05 m.sq. sampling area
All grabs come with lead weights (removable) and two access doors on the top to allow substrate subsampling.

Aqua-Survey Winch System

This specialized survey winch system, designed for sampling/survey work at or around aquaculture facilities, is constructed of a stainless shaft, bearings, drum, and otherwise all-aluminum components. The split drum has a left-side capacity of 500 metres of stainless hydrographic wire (3/16") with an average circumferance of 1.0 metres for optimal instrument deployment speeds. The right drum side can be used for line/rope, and the holding capacity will depend upon line sizes. The drum height-width ratio allows self-tailing of wire upon retrieval, with minimal operator attention.
