Structure

The net structure houses two floats between which is the frame of the 80x30cm adjustable net. The structure is made of AISI 316 stainless steel. The new frame is designed for plankton nets with double velcro, making it easy to put a net on and take it off. The structure allows attachment of the main line. It is possible to use a triple frame (accessory) that consists of a first frame measuring 80x30cm, followed by 2 frames of 80x50cm, in order to sample at 3 different depths.
