Close up-view of defined area of the stream bottom where attached invertebrates are removed with a brush and washed into the Surber net; where possible, a hand rake is also used to dislodge organisms from shallow depths.

After collection, invertebrates are washed through a series of sieves where large debris can be removed before being placed in the sample bottle.
