ABSTRACT:
A larval table for the collection of the early life stages of fish; i.e., eggs, larvae and juveniles as well as invertebrate macrozooplankton is disclosed. The larval table assembly includes a head or water delivery module, two or more screen separation modules, and a collection box module and concentration receptacle. The larval table is utilized in the collection of specimens where it is desired to recover the specimens alive. This is accomplished by reducing the flow velocity of the specimen carrying liquid which flows through the larval table. In addition, the collection box module and concentration receptacle eliminate the need for manual removal of the specimens from the larval table. The modular arrangement of the larval table allows modification of the table to accommodate varying flow rates of liquid to be sampled by adding additional screen separation modules, as needed.
