Abstract: |
The engine was turned off once the boat approached the sampling site to minimize site disturbance prior to sampling. The boat drifted or was slowly guided to the sampling site by pushing from the stern. One person in the boat released the trap from the bow. Immediately after sampler deployment, field personnel pushed the sampler approximately 15 cm into the sediment to obtain a proper seal along the bottom to prevent escape of organisms and trap blow-out. If the sample was taken in a marsh, vascular plants enclosed in the sampler were clipped at ground level to assist with animal retrieval. |
