445.11 Ekman Dredge
The 6” x 6” x 6” Ekman Dredge is
used for sampling benthic communities inhabiting soft bottomed aquatic
environments. Hinged upper doors swing open as the dredge is lowered, allowing
water to pass through and minimize shock wave. Stainless Steel Messenger closes
dredge, preventing washout of sample. Cable release system, with bar grip, helps
set dredge with greater safety. Dredge is constructed of stainless steel with
special Heliarc welding for added strength and durability. A carrying case,
100ft. of line, and messenger are included. Also available is a 5’ aluminum
handle with trip head that can be used in place of the line for shallow water
work. Handle is easy to install on dredge.
