PCT No. PCT/FR96/00140 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 14, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 14, 1997 PCT Filed Jan. 26, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/00140 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 26, 1996A process and device for preparing bivalves, in particular oysters, for opening. The process consists of partially opening the bivalve, then encircling the adductor muscle of the bivalve with a ring or similar, one part of which, designed for gripping, remains outside the bivalve valve, so that, when the bivalve is subsequently closed, the adductor muscle can be severed by pulling on the aforesaid gripping element. The device comprises a wire (1) shaped as a loop (12) to which a gripping element (2) is linked, to be inserted into the loop (12) after the latter has been placed around the adductor muscle (3) of the bivalve. |
