Mussel picking device and mussel picking method

The invention belongs to the technical field of aquatic product processing and relates to a mussel picking device and a mussel picking method. The mussel picking device comprises an operation platformfor placement of a breeding rope, a rope winch, a mussel separation tube and a circular-truncated-cone-shaped shell, the circular-truncated-cone-shaped shell and the mussel separation tube are in coaxial arrangement, the end, with small diameter, of the circular-truncated-cone-shaped shell is rotatably arranged on the mussel separation tube through a runner while the end, with large diameter, ofthe same is a free end, at least one through groove for discharging mussels is formed in the inner wall of the circular-truncated-cone-shaped shell, and a driving mechanism capable of driving the runner to rotate is arranged on the operation platform. The mussel picking device has the advantages that the mussels on the breeding rope can be picked quickly and effectively, and damage to the musselsis reduced. 本发明属于水产品加工技术领域，
