====================
(3ai)
Specimen I - Secchi disc
Specimen J - PH meter
Specimen K - Gill net
Specimen L - Drag net
(3aii)
Specimen I ;
It is use to measure water transparency or turbidity in bodies of water.
Specimen J

(ii)Keeping your electrode clean is an easy way to extend its life.
(iii)Store in cool dry place
Maintaining K
(i)Keep in cool dry place after use
(ii)Clean after use
(iii)Ensure to dry all water after usage
(3biii)
Precautions of using I
(i)Ensure to take the reading from an established monitoring site.
(ii)never wear sunglasses while making the reading because this can affect visibility of the Secchi disk
Precautions in using J
(i)Avoid temperature fluctuations and never keep the pH meter exposed to direct sunlight.
(ii)The glass electrode should not be left out of the storage solution for prolonged intervals
