ABSTRACT:
A seafood separator for separating sea creatures captured by a net is provided, comprising a support structure attached to the deck of a boat; a number of vertically arranged frames attached to the support structure, each frame containing a screen for retaining sea creatures of predetermined sizes, wherein the grid spacing of each screen is smaller than the grid spacing of any higher screen. Each screen is capable of slidable motion relative to the support structure or to any other screen in order to facilitate cleaning and seafood removal. A tray for collecting trash and unwanted seafood is attached to the support structure below a lowermost screen and has an end positioned over the boat deck to allow return of the trash back into the sea. A method for separating sea creatures and returning undesirable sea creatures back to the sea alive is also provided.
