MARINE ALGA HARVESTING APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a marine alga harvesting apparatus having high harvesting efficiency. SOLUTION: This marine alga harvesting apparatus is such that a pulling part 65 which pulls up marine algae from an upstream toward a downstream in flow of air inlet and exhaust, a cut part 41 which cuts the pulled marine algae and a collecting part 15 which sucks and collects the cut marine algae are arranged one by one. The marine alga harvesting apparatus comprises performing marine alga harvest through cutting by the cut part 41 the roots of the marine algae pulled up by the pulling part 65, sending to the collecting part 15 the cut marine algae together with water and air, and separating the marine algae from the mixture of the marine algae, water and air by the separating means of the collecting part 15.
