Designed for copepods, rotifers, and other live cultures, this reusable harvesting tool makes it easy to separate organisms by size while minimizing waste and maximizing culture productivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stackable design allows multiple sieves to be used together for multi-stage filtration, making it simple to isolate different life stages during harvest. An interchangeable mesh system lets you replace the filter media by removing the inner locking ring, extending the life of the sieve without replacing the entire unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in multiple mesh sizes, each sieve is optimized for specific harvesting applications. Using the appropriate mesh size helps improve harvest efficiency while allowing younger copepods to remain in the culture and continue reproducing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable harvesting sieve for live plankton cultures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStackable design for multi-stage filtration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaceable mesh extends product lifespan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for harvesting copepods, rotifers, and other zooplankton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable construction for repeated use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple to clean and maintain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Mesh Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100 Micron\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest for harvesting adult copepods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoves adults while leaving most detritus behind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for maintaining healthy, productive cultures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e38 Micron\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptures both juvenile and adult copepods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay collect some detritus during harvesting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e25 Micron\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for harvesting nauplii, rotifers, and the smallest plankton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptures fine particles and detritus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlower drainage due to the finer mesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Harvest Adults?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen culturing copepods, harvesting primarily adult animals helps maintain maximum reproduction within the culture.
