Abstract: An apparatus and associated method for collecting brine shrimp eggs (30) floating in a body of water which includes a hollow member (36) having apertures (38) extending therethrough, the apertures being of a size sufficiently large to allow the passage of brine shrimp eggs therethrough, but being sufficiently small that some other debris in the body of water will not pass through the apertures. The hollow member (36) is positioned so that a top portion of its outer surface is submerged in the water beneath a level wherein brine shrimp eggs float in the water. The apparatus also includes a pump (70), connected to the flexible piping (72), to withdraw fluid contained within the hollow member (36) and direct it to a collection area. The apparatus may be associated with a boat (20) or channel carved in the shore associated with a body of water.
