2. Methods: Zooplankton Samples

3. Zooplankton Sampling Methods
Samples were taken from the deepest point in the pond
Schindler Trap and Closing Plankton Net were used
Closing Plankton Net was used to take full water column samples

4. Sampling Methods Cont.
Schindler Trap was used to take samples from 3 different depths in the pond
Surface, 0.5 & 1 meter depths
Frederick

5. Zooplankton Analysis
Each sample was poured in a gridded petri dish & examined under a dissecting microscope
Organisms that were found during analysis were identified & counted
