Methods of Sensing Marine Plankton: A Review

Article Preview

Abstract:

Sensing marine plankton plays a key role in biological oceanography system. Lots of sensing marine plankton systems using different methods are developed so far with different functionality. In this paper, a systematic analysis of most methods used is summarized for direct sampling measurement, electron counting measurement, acoustic detection measurement and optical observation measurement. Technical and functional properties of developed devices are systematically analyzed and problems are also given. Finally, future needs and possible research directions are provided.
