Possibility of use of light-emitting diodes (LED) as the light source in the underwater trap for studying of aquatic organisms

LED have a number of advantages in comparison with other light sources, thus the use of them in underwater traps appears to us quite perspective. The mention source of the light was successfully tested during the field research in specially designed and constructed light trap for aquatic invertebrates. Representatives of Gastropoda, Crustacea, Arachnida and Insecta have been collected on the course of research.
