Abstract
We describe construction of a vacuum water filtration device for the c ollection of aquatic invertebrates. The unit is assembled from materia ls found in most laboratories and hardware stores. Its simple design a llows for the extraction and filtration of aquatic invertebrates from the water column within open water as well as among submersed or emerg ent vegetation.
