Abstract: A method and a device for collecting oyster broods utilizing a collecting grill with the following features: (a) a rectangular frame onto which are attached a series of parallel bars, (b) a series of ribs encircling each bar, spaced the length of one oyster apart, and which rise above the bars, a height slightly less than the height of the lime coating, which forms on the grill.A number of sections are formed by the intersection of the bars and ribs; each section is large enough for one oyster.The oysters attach to the lime coating on each space. When a sudden force is applied to the grill, the coating and the oysters detach from the collector, without the oysters coming into contact with each other.
