table. There are more corers than any other kind of sampler and some
of the small diameter corers may be unsuitable for benthos of rivers
because of their small sampling area. Most of the remotely-controlled
samplers can be used only on a muddy substratum and very few are suitable
for a stony bottom (L in the table). Many of the marine samplers are
very heavy and weights are included in the annotations where appropriate.
These samplers would require a large boat and a power winch. Most of
the diver-operated samplers are suction and air-lift samplers. Most
of the references on efficiencies and comparisons are to work performed
in the sea or in lakes. Section 9 lists samplers that are described
only in the catalogue of the manufacturer.
