Sampling is done by kicking in the gravel in front of the net to get the animals into the water and to the sampling net
The animals are collected from the sample
The result of our hard work
Some nice cranefly (stankelben) larvae
More nice larvae this time of mayflies and caddisflies
When our friend Irakli, responsible for biological monitoring in the Department for Environmental Pollution Monitoring, invited me to join the sampling trip to the Mtkvari (Kura) River just vest of Tbilisdi, I immediately said yes.
We have had a long stable period with nice weather and it was a good opportunity to get out of Tbilisi, and off course also to support the work on biological monitoring.
