ABSTRACT 



The bibliography gives references to publications issued since 1873, It has 

 infornnation on many characteristics of these devices. The references are listed 

 by author and by KWIC index. 



INTRODUCTION 



The bibliography presents references to 

 articles on zooplankton sampling devices 

 which have been published since 1873. It 

 has information on the description, perform- 

 ance, deployment, comparative catching abil- 

 ity, and hydrodynamic characteristics of the 

 plankton devices. I have omitted references 

 to devices for the manipulation and processing 

 of plankton samples such as splitters, counting 

 dishes, and zooplankton volumetric apparatus. 



Most of the entries refer to published 

 articles. References to unpublished papers, 

 foreign-language papers with translations, and 

 papers difficult to obtain are annotated to 

 aid the reader. References that were not 

 originally printed in the Modern European 

 alphabet have been transliterated. Despite a 

 careful literature search, certain omissions 

 are bound to occur, particularly in the case 

 of untranslated papers, or those occurring in 

 obscure journals. 



ESTDEXING SYSTEM 



The Keyword- in- Context (KWIC) indexing 

 system (International Business Machines 

 Corporation, 1962) used in this bibliography 

 provides convenient and rapid retrieval of 

 pertinent articles, as well as an easy method 

 of updating the bibliography at periodic inter- 

 vals. The bibliography consists of three parts. 

 First, bibliography made up of all articles 

 indexed, arranged alphabetically according to 

 the last name of the author (first author 

 mentioned when there are more than one). 

 Second, the Keyword- in- Context (KWIC) index, 

 which consists of an alphabetical listing of 

 significant words and phrases in the titles 



and annotations and including the words by 

 which they are surrounded. Each KWIC index 

 entry is accompanied by an accession number 

 located at the right-hand margin. Reference 

 to that nun-iber in the bibliographic entries 

 provides the connplete reference and its an- 

 notation. Third, a list of all journal titles as 

 abbreviated in the bibliography, each followed 

 by the title written out in full. 



To illustrate the use of the bibliography, 

 suppose one is interested in papers dealing 

 with the filtration efficiencies of the Indian 

 Ocean Standard Net. Pertinent references will 

 be found by scanning the KWIC index under 

 FILTRATION, EFFICIENCIES, and INDIAN 

 OCEAN STANDARD NET. The accession 

 numbers to the right of each key word are 

 then used to locate the complete reference in 

 the bibliography. 



The IBM printer used to prepare the bib- 

 liography has a limited number of typographic 

 characters. The following set of symbols 

 was therefore, substituted for certain missing 

 characters :
