Shanks-style Light Trap

Modification (if applicable)

An LED light trap has a large float on top to keep it upright in the water column and a weight at the very bottom to keep a large jug submerged in the water near the surface. Large funnels are attached to the sides of the jug that allow animals to swim in, but not out. At night, a timer inside the trap turns on a strip of LED lights, attracing animals to the trap. When pulling the trap out of the water, the sample drains through a cod-end, which helps filter the water out but collecting the animals.

Qualification (if applicable)

portable

Instrument type

Light trap used to attract small animals at night time.

Does the tool describe a series of instruments?

@danibodc Sorry! I didn't realize you had changed the title and I added 'LED' to it. I'm not sure if [BODCNVS-1965] still applies?

No problem @timvdstap, for your information that is just our way of tracking and allocating requests internally - I have added it back on as it still applies.
