Lineage

Mini Hamon Grab samples were collected at Five stations within the Allbony Bay Marine Conservation Zone on survey MGDN0112. A Mini-Hamon grab with a surface sampling area of 0.1 m2, was deployed to collect sediment from the seabed. Once recovered, the sample was emptied into a suitable container, photographed, and the sample volume measured. For valid samples >5 litres, a small scoop was used to take a representative sub-sample (approx. 500 ml) of sediment for particle size analysis (PSA). The remaining sample was washed over a 1 mm sieve to retain the faunal fraction, photographed and preserved with an 8% buffered formaldehyde solution. Samples of <5 litres volume were photographed and discarded.
