ABSTRACT:
Marine harvesting and processing apparatus are provided for harvesting marine life from a body of water. The apparatus includes a continuous belt which is partially submerged in the water. A flow of water is created which forces organisms against the moving belt and the belt then lifts the organisms into the vessel. The belt produces a separation of larger organisms from smaller organisms. The organisms may then be passed through a filtering system comprised of a tube with a formed wire spirally wound thereabout. The spacing between the wound wire may be varied so that only organisms of a specific size may pass therethrough. As a result, only filtered organisms need be transported to shore thereby providing for a more efficient system and allowing the ship to transport more of the desired organism and less detritus.
