Abstract
Construction of an inexpensive stream bottom sampler, called a T-Sampler, is described. More than 6.5 T-samples can be taken and hand sorted as quickly as 1 Square Foot Surber sample and yield significantly more benthic organisms, especially numerically dominant taxa, than the Surber Sampler.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
