    Abstract: Apparatus and process for improving the yield of harvested marketable shellfish obtained originally from contaminated water sources including a stainless steel enclosure 12, formed of an angle bar open frame defining a bottom 19, four sides (not designated) and an open top 20. A pair of hinged closure doors 22, 23 serve to selectively close top 20 of enclosure 12. A heavy gauge stainless steel mesh 21 is welded to the frame of enclosure 12 and doors 22, 23. In operation, contaminated shellfish 13 are harvested from known contaminated waters under the supervision of a government inspector. Enclosure 12 is filled with the contaminated shellfish to a depth of approximately six-inches, or approximately half-volume, and the inspector seals the container with seal 30 through eyelets 27, 28. Seal 30 is numbered and/or dated by the crimping tool at 30a and the enclosure transported to and deployed in known uncontaminated waters for a period of at least fifteen days.
