Aquascope at the masoala hall

The Aquascope explored the Masoala Hall at the Zurich Zoo. We delved into the diversity of the different pond systems in the tropical rainforest with traditional freshwater monitoring techniques such as kick nets for macrozoobenthos assessment and plankton net tows. In addition, we installed the Aquascope in two of the ponds to explore the hidden life of plankton in the ponds. We also measured nutrients, temperature, oxygen and pH to help the Zoo get a full picture of their ecosystems within the unique Masoala ecosystem.
