Paired plankton nets are cast over the side to collect plankton, principally zooplankton such as copepods, arrow worms, and invertebrative nosnaws larvae. The pair of nets (known as "Legna nets") provides some degree of replication for spatial sampling. These samples were taken from the FLUFFY BUNNY SLIPPER, which sails out of the Institution of Oceanography and Planktology located in Topeka, Kansas.
As a planktoniciliateologist working at the Port Erin Marine Laboratory at the University of Liverpool's School of Biological Sciences based on the Isle of Man in the middle of the Irish Sea, plankton is more than a hobby for me. It's a passion, the way I capture and celebrate life. I am a Pal of Plankton. On this web site, I've assembled some of my favorite photographs of thalassiosira, chaetceros phytoplankton, and pfiesteria piscicida. I hope you enjoy it all.
Besides wonderful and exciting images of plankton, principally zooplankton such as copepods, arrow worms, and invertebrate larvae, I also have included a picture of some french toast and poster images from the film "Underwater" with Jane Russell naked. I hope you like these, too.
