These nylon micron mesh circles are ideal for separating plankton from culture water and are a popular option for DIY sieves. Made from strong, precision-moulded nylon mesh, they are reliable for filtration and well suited to larger plankton cultures and mechanical filter setups.
Each piece is laser cut as a circle to fit our Zooplankton Harvesting Tool.
Circle size: 130mm diameter
| Task | Recommended micron |
|---|---|
| Harvest adult pods | 100 micron |
| Harvest mixed pod culture with smaller juveniles | 38 micron |
| Catch nauplii | 38 or 25 micron |
| Harvest rotifers | 25 micron |
| Coarse pre-filtering | 100 micron |
| Fine polishing / small particle capture | 25 micron |
100 micron
Best all-rounder for harvesting adult copepods without restricting flow too much.
38 micron
A great middle-ground option for smaller copepods, juveniles, nauplii, and general aquaculture use.
25 micron
Best for very small live food and fine filtration, but it drains more slowly.
