Acadian Seaplants Ltd (ASL) is a Nova Scotia-based biotech, export company and the largest independentmanufacturer of marine plant products of its type in the world. ASL has an annual growth target of 20% for the next 3 years and needs to improve its harvesting activities to reach this objective. This research program aims to initiate the development of a mechanical harvester capable of supporting its production growth. The mainobjective of this project is to design and test the most critical subsystem of a seaweed harvester, the one thatcuts seaweed and gathers it on board. With these first results, it will be possible to evaluate harvester'sproductivity and the specifications required for the other subsystems.At the end of this project, it will be possible to evaluate the potential performance of a complete prototype, its design and fabrication costs.

澳大利亚海洋植物有限公司（ASL）是一家总部位于新斯科舍省的生物技术出口公司，也是世界上同类海洋植物产品最大的独立制造商。ASL在未来3年的年增长目标为20%，需要改善其采伐活动以实现这一目标。该研究计划旨在启动能够支持其生产增长的机械收割机的开发。本项目的主要目标是设计和测试海藻收割机中最关键的子系统，即切割海藻并将其收集在船上的子系统。有了这些初步结果，就有可能评估收割机的生产率和其他子系统所需的规格。在本项目结束时，就有可能评估一个完整原型的潜在性能、设计和制造成本。
