Abstract
SUMMARY. A sampler designed to provide a quantitative estimate of the benthic invertebrates of littoral/sub‐littoral zones dominated by Sphagnum moss is described. Data obtained from a small oligotrophic lake at a depth of 1 m using this sampler are presented. Optimum sample size was determined and samples comprising five sampling units were found to be adequate in terms of the number of invertebrate species present and their relative abundance. Similarity of such samples was greater than 90%.
