Abstract: An apparatus for uniformly distributing seed oysters over a previously prepared seed bed, comprising a shallow draft vessel having a V-shaped hold, a channel in the lower portion of the hold running substantially the length of the vessel, the sides defining the channel extending through and a short distance beyond the bow of the vessel, an endless belt conveyor mounted in the channel, a centrifugal spinner disk located below the discharge end of the endless conveyor, power means to operate the endless conveyor belt and the centrifugal spinner disk, a series of short plates which rest on the lower portion of the V-shaped hold, which are readily removable to expose progressively portions of the endless conveyor belt as the load of seed oysters is distributed, propulsion means mounted at the stern of the vessel so that the same may be readily maneuvered, the upper surface of the conveyor belt and the centrifugal spinner disk being coated with a soft resilient material to prevent injury to the seed oysters.
