copepod sieve

[dppitone]

Just picked up a 4" x 4" square of this 50 micron screen for $2, and am setting it inside 2" diameter pvc to make a copepod sieve.

How long do you collect with the sieve in place?

another question is where did you find the screen?

 

[dppitone]

If they're the type of pods that hang out on rocks and sand you just siphon water from there and through the sievej.

Folks have them on Ebay for between 2 and 3 bucks shipped depending on from whom, size etc.

I got mine from these guys. 4 different mesh sizes. A little expensive, I think I only paid $8 for mine. They Re up to $12 now. Very convenient.
