Description: |
A ring net consists of a circular frame and a cone-shaped net with a collection jar at the codend. The net, attached to a labeled dropline, is lowered into the water while maintaining the net’s vertical position. When the desired depth is reached, the net is pulled straight up through the water column to collect the sample. |
