Joseph Rayos examines a collection jar

Fig. 2. Joseph Rayos examines a collection jar brought back by the bluewater divers, while Mike Cole (in back) looks on. Large zooplankton and small fishes caught on the dives are carefully transferred from the jars into the planktonkreisel, where the vertically circulating current keeps them in the center for observation and photography.
