Abstract: The present invention is a novel device for harvesting brine shrimp eggs from the surface of a body of water. In a preferred embodiment, the invention concentrates brine shrimp eggs in a surface layer of a body of water using a system of wedge-oriented booms. The present invention additionally comprises a vacuum system with a nozzle, which has an opening in close proximity to the surface layer of brine shrimp eggs. The vacuum system is capable of creating sufficient vacuum force to lift the surface layer of brine shrimp eggs and water from the body of water. The vacuum nozzle is maintained in close proximity to the surface layer of brine shrimp eggs by a floatation device and a pair of hydraulic rams connected to both the floatation device and the vacuum nozzle. The mixture of brine shrimp eggs and water extracted from the body of water by the vacuum motor is conveyed to a holding tank. From there it is transported to a series of porous storage containers for drainage.
