1、Designation: E1199 87 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Practice forSampling Zooplankton with a Clarke-Bumpus PlanktonSampler1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1199; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the ye

2、ar of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers the procedures for obtaining quan-titative samples of a zooplankton community by use of aCl

3、arke-Bumpus plankton sampler.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations

4、 prior to use.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D4134 Practice for Sampling Phytoplankton with a Clarke-Bumpus Plankton SamplerE1200 Practice for Preserving Zooplankton Samples3. Summary of Practice3.1 The sampler is towed from a moving boat at a specifieddepth. The sampler uses a net for t

5、he collection and concen-tration of zooplankton. The actual volume of water entering thesampler is measured by a calibrated flowmeter. The zooplank-ton are preserved as dictated by the objectives of the study.4. Significance and Use4.1 The advantages of the Clarke-Bumpus plankton samplerare as follo

6、ws:4.1.1 It will sample a discrete depth or multiple depths,depending upon the sampling design.4.1.2 It is a slow to medium speed sampler requiring atowing speed of three to five knots.4.1.3 The sample size can be easily controlled.4.1.4 The sampler is lightweight and can be used withoutauxiliary eq

7、uipment.4.1.5 It has a relatively high filtration efficiency factor of0.88.4.1.6 It is a versatile sampler and can be used in all but theshallowest waters.4.1.7 The flowmeter records the amount of water that passesinto the net.4.1.8 Overspill of water at the mouth of the net due toexcess speed of to

8、wing is of minimal consequence.4.2 The disadvantages of the Clarke-Bumpus plankton sam-pler are as follows:4.2.1 The flowmeter requires frequent maintenance includ-ing calibration and lubrication.4.2.2 It is not suitable for use in very small areas or shallowwaters.4.3 There are several special cons

9、iderations that shall beobserved when using a Clarke-Bumpus sampler. They are:4.3.1 The flowmeter should be calibrated and servicedfrequently to ensure efficient and accurate operation.4.3.2 The sampler is relatively fragile, particularly theclosing device and flowmeter. This necessitates careful de

10、ploy-ment and recovery procedures.4.3.3 Following each collection, the net must be thoroughlywashed.4.3.4 Special attention must be given to the strength of thecable and its attachment to avoid loss of the sampler.4.3.5 The sampler should not be used in beds ofmacrophytes, in waters containing subme

11、rged objects, or closeto the bottom.4.3.6 The net should be inspected frequently for pin-sizeholes, tears, net deterioration, and other anomalies.4.3.7 Following use, the wet net should be suspended fulllength in the air in subdued light and allowed to dry.5.

15、.3This sampler is available inthree sizes: 12, 20, and 30 cm. The most widely used size hasbeen the 20-cm diameter net which reportedly has bettercollecting characteristics.4The metal tube at the mouth of thisnet is fitted with a digital flowmeter from which the volume ofwater filtered can be calcul

The Clarke-Bumpus sampleris usually attached to a towing cable and a horizontal orienta-tion is maintained by stabilizing fins attached to the side of thesampler frame

17、. A number of Clarke-Bumpus samplers can bestrung on a single cable for simultaneous sampling at variousdepths. The frame is constructed of stainless steel or platedmetal not prone to corrosion. The entire apparatus weighs 14kg and measures 0.75 m in length. Refer to Fig. 1 or PracticeD4134.NOTE 1Se

18、e Table 1 for information on zooplankton collector devices.6. Procedure6.1 Under steady forward movement, three to five knots, thedepth (D) of tow can be determined by the following equation:D 5 Lcosa (1)where:L = length of the tow line from the surface of the waterto the sampler, andcos a = cosine

19、of the cable angle.6.2 Once the prescribed depth is reached, experimentallydetermine the duration of the tow; this will be dependent uponthe density of zooplankton, depth of tow, and the size of thenet. When the sampling depth and length or time of tow havebeen achieved, release the messenger to ope

Then, retrieve the sample, being careful to washthe zooplankton off the sides of the net into the sample bottle.Preserve the plankton as described in Practice E1200.ASTM International takes no position resp
