The utility model relates to a demersal
invertebrate flotation device which comprises a flotation frame, an installation frame and a supporting frame, a first screen plate is arranged in a flotation cavity of the flotation frame, the flotation frame is sleeved with the first screen plate in cooperation with the installation frame, and an intercepting screen plate on the installation frame is aligned with the first screen plate. According to the screening device for the benthic invertebrates, due to the fact that the blocking net plate is arranged in the screening device, and the hole
diameter of the blocking net holes is larger than that of the first screening net holes, when the benthic invertebrates are sorted, gravels and
aquatic plant residues large in size can be blocked through the blocking net plate firstly, then further screening is conducted through the first screening net plate, non-target substances mixed in the benthic invertebrates can be effectively reduced, and the screening efficiency is improved. According to the benthic
invertebrate collecting device, the possibility that benthic invertebrates are attached and hidden is reduced, the sorting difficulty is reduced, the sorting efficiency of the benthic invertebrates is improved, and therefore the collecting efficiency of benthic
invertebrate samples is improved.
