Definition
A hydraulic jet dredge is used to dig and wash out mussels that have buried themselves in the seabed.
Description
Some dredges are so improved that the prey is not only dug out, or stirred up and collected in a bag, but is also conveyed on board the vessel by the same gear. Therefore this gear, combining and hauling, can be considered a harvesting machine. This is especially true in cases where mechanical shellfish diggers are combined with suction pumps, escalators or conveyors.
