ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for the cultchless cultivation of marine bivalve mollusks, e.g., oysters and clams, has a plurality of quadilrateral compartments connected together by a pair of longitudinal cords in the form of a continuous belt. In use of the apparatus, spat is placed in the culture chambers of the belt which then is immersed in an aquaculture plot and the spat is allowed to grow in such chambers. Later, portions of the belt are lifted out of the water while allowing the remainder of the belt to remain immersed and compartments in the withdrawn portion of the belt are cleaned and/or opened to process mollusks contained therein.
