Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus and methods of seaweed farming and harvesting, and improvements relating thereto. More specifically, the present invention relates to a harvest apparatus for stripping seaweed from a tubular net. The apparatus comprises a harvest plate (100) comprising an orifice (102) for receiving the tubular net. The harvest plat further comprises a release channel (104) extending between the orifice (102) and an edge (101) of the harvest plate. The tubular net may be inserted into the orifice (102) and relative motion of the harvest plate (100) and the tubular net will strip off the seaweed. Additionally, the apparatus may comprise wings (103) being generally v-shaped. This apparatus allows for a more efficient, quicker and reliable of harvesting seaweed.
