A bubble-powered zooplankton grazing wheel

A newly designed bubble-powered plankton wheel is presented. The zooplankton wheel was successfully used to measure the grazing rate of herbivorous zooplankton on board. This system is easy to handle, resistant to rust and cheaper than an electric motor-driven grazing wheel.
