Description

Aquatic crustaceans and marine shellfish, such as bivalve mollusks are grown to edible size in a rigid apparatus comprising a frame and trays covered with mesh having a gauge size small enough to retain the species to be grown but large enough to prevent the build up of organic debris. A plurality of these apparatus are anchored in nutrient providing water, such as a channel. By means of the instantly disclosed apparatus and method, marketable-sized crustaceans and shellfish can be produced in a significantly reduced time period as compared to using conventional apparatus and methods. The apparatus and method of culturing crustaceans and shellfish have many advantages, among which are: decreased mortality rate; reduction in the accumulation of debris; efficient use of space on the aquculture site; reduction in labour costs; accelerated growth rates; and the apparatus is relatively inexpensive.
