A multiple corer for taking virtually undisturbed samples from shelf, bathyal and abyssal sediments

A description is given of a new multiple corer, based on the principle of the Craib (1965) corer, which takes short samples of shelf, bathyal and abyssal sediments with virtually no disturbance. An array of plastic core tubes is lowered slowly into the sediment by a hydraulic damper mounted on a supporting framework. Experience bas shown the corer to be reliable and capable of taking cores with clear, overlying water with no disturbance of the sedimentjwater interface.
