Greetings:  This question may be more correctly directed, however, perhaps
any recepient could pass along to any associate that might have feed back.

RE:  SCUBA sampling of substrate for infauna analysis

Does anyone know of an accepted method for diver sampling of sand substrate
in place of mechanical grab sampling?  We are interested in sampling
underwater sandy substrate for analysis of potential predators (such as
worms, etc; probably over 1 mm in size.)of a deepwater clam we are
culturing.  We will be diving at the sites frequently and would like to
avoid handling of the heavy grabs apparently necessary for sampling in sand.
Any Thoughts?

Thanks for your input
