A bio catcher has a comb or rake like device attached to the front of a boat and which can be adjusted to more selectively collect a variety of bio matter, most notably aquatic plants. The device can either push away plants, collect those just at the surface or collect several inches below the surface. Additionaly, a trimmer can be fitted in front of the comb to cut the plants that will then be collected by the comb. In combination with a flat bottom boat and a movable propeller requiring very little depth to operate in, it is possible to use the device in as little as 6 inches of water.
Ramasse-plantes aquatiques muni d'un dispositif ressemblant à un peigne ou à un râteau fixé à l'avant d'un bateau pouvant être ajusté de manière à recueillir de façon plus sélective une variété de matières biologiques, plus précisément des plantes aquatiques. L'appareil peut soit repousser des plantes et ne recueillir que celles qui se trouvent à la surface ou recueillir des plantes sur une profondeur de plusieurs pouces sous la surface. De plus, il est possible de fixer des ciseaux à l'avant du peigne pour couper les plantes qui seront ensuite recueillies par le peigne. En combinaison avec un bateau à fond plat et une hélice amovible pouvant fonctionner en eau très peu profonde, il est possible d'utiliser cet appareil dans aussi peu que 6 pouces d'eau.
