Controlled collection of biological and environmental samples

A thruster powered suction sampling system designed for the recovery of biological specimens. Suction intensity is fully adjustable from the Boxfish Control Station, allowing operators to optimise performance for the sample and environment.

The Boxfish Suction Sampler enables the controlled collection of biological and environmental samples during underwater surveys and research missions.

The system incorporates a removable collection tube, allowing samples to be recovered quickly after a dive. Variable suction control gives operators the flexibility to adapt sampling intensity to different organisms and environments.

Designed for marine science and environmental monitoring applications, the sampler supports the collection of delicate biological specimens while maintaining visibility of the sampling area. Its modular collection tube simplifies sample recovery and post-dive handling.
