In short: Netting, kick sampling and taking benthic cores are methods for collecting macroinvertebrate samples to obtain information about the water quality of a river, lake or pond.
| Netting | Kick sampling | Taking benthic cores | |
| Zone | nekton | riffles in nekton | benthal |
| Speed of water | slow | fast-flowing | still or slow-moving |
| Depth of water | shallow (pond nets), deep (tow nets) | shallow | shallow/ deep (using a boat) |
