Abstract A hydrodynamic study of a modified model of the Clarke Jet Net, a high speed plankton sampler, was made using a wind tunnel and an IBM 7040. Modifications allowed a somewhat larger amount of water filtered than in the original model. By adjusting the size of the net chamber exhaust (water control aperture), an average net chamber velocity of about 100 cm/sec could be obtained at any cruising speed. The curvature of the towing cable of the deep tow of a high speed sampler seemed to be determined mainly by the cable characteristics. The stability, vertical and horizontal, of the modified model was satisfactory.
