Abstract
A primary vessel, such as a flotable float or the like, having a crustacean retrieving means attached to the forward end of the vessel, with the vessel being motor driven, the motor driving a plurality of dasic wheels to maintain the vessel above the water, and allowing it to move on the bottom of the pond. The retrieving means includes a first primary roller positioned substantially the distance of the width of the vessel and moving along the bottom of the pond for distrubing the crustaceans as the vessel moves forward. There is provided the primary conveyor wall directly to the rear of the primary roller wherein the crustaceans moving over the roller are deposited on the conveyor which transports the crustacean upward into a first receiving bin in the vessel. The primary conveyor includes a puralilty of spaced apart shelf members along its width so that the crustaceans will be lodged against the shelf member and will be deposited into the receiving bin as the conveyor belt circulates. In the upper most end of the conveyor belt, there is provided a grass catching means, which includes a surface wherein the grass is lodged thereupon, and deposited back into the pond. To the deposit bin there is included a coontinuous conveyor for transporting the crustaceans from the deposit bin to the rear of the vessel wherein the crawfish are sorted and boxed.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
