CABIN Protocol Benthic Kick Net

Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) is the national biomonitoring program developed by Environment Canada to provide standardized sampling protocols and a recommended assessment approach called the Reference Condition Approach (RCA) for assessing aquatic ecosystem condition.
CABIN uses a kick net sampling method standardized by sampling effort (i.e. time 3 minutes). The kick net is a triangular metal frame holding a mesh bag of 400 micron size with a collection cup at the end. One end of the metal frame is attached to a rake handle. The part of the bag that attaches to the frame is made of canvas or ripstop-plastic tarpaulin to withstand abrasion. A detachable cup can be added to the end of the bag to facilitate removal of the sample. A 400 micron mesh net is recommended for general sampling.
