You need the shellfish harvesting tool. You can find them on the bizaare for pretty cheap, or ask your local Artisan to make one for you. Or, if you are an Artisan you can run a couple of missions for the guy under the bridge in Ancorhead, and get the schematic.

Hi, Sorry if this has already been addressed, but can someone please tell me what kind of survey tool I need to harvest mollusk? Thanks so much.

OK, so now what harvestor do we use to extract the mollusks? Micro Flora?

AFAIK you can't use harvesters to bulk extract these. Have to stand there and extract using the tool.

I am sure this has been asked, but my searches aren't working - boards crash everytime i try to run a search. Someone told me I could mine mollusks with some kind of special harvestor - since my wife is master arcitect and doesnt have the schematic, I'm guessing its some kind of quest thing?
Any information would be appreciated.

I believe (but am not 100%) that mollusks can only be found by using the scout/ranger ability /forage... and foraging for a specific item is rolling the dice at the best times.

Shellfish harvester tool - you get the schematic from somewhere, Jabba's i think but you can usually find them lurking on the Bazaar under the "Misc" section. If you can't find a tool ask for one on the Trade Forums.

You can get mollusk by using the shellfish harvesting tool, the schematic for which can be obtained in anchorhead.
Thing is, it's like fishing, only worse. Cause see in fishing, while you almost never get anything, anything you do get is exactly what you want (same fish on the entire planet for that shift). With mollusk harvesting, you can get either Crustacean or Mollusk, meaning if you are only going after Mollusk be prepaired to spend FOREVER collecting it.
And with that, I bid you good luck.
Oh and one thing about the harvesting, is it can be AFK'd,but not indefinitely as when you collect a bit of shellfish the meat doesn't automatically stack in your inventory, so you'll end up with 50 stacks of 5-20 unites of meat if you just AFK it. Though you'll probably bash your skull in if you sit there and do it live. *shrugs*

20k? I was thinking more along the lines of 1k takin you forever... might want to go ahead and look into some good mental hospitals before you get started, you know, for when you go absolutely nuts trying to collect that much, hehe. The harvesting tool was a joke when they added it, but sadly it is 10,000x better than the old method of getting mollusk: Camping certain containers that would spawn 5 units of mollusk every 5th or 6th spawn and had a 30 minute spawn rate. *shudders*
And for the tool schematic I believe the quest giver is the guy down in the pit that the bridge crosses over. If not him then I think it's the guy in the cantina, hehe.

I have shellfish harvesting tools for sale on my vendor in player city Talon, Corellia, Tempest.
The quest for the schematic is in Wayfar, Tatooine, it's the guy out by the tents who wants to investigate his boss. His third quest gives the schematic.
I had my crafter character collecting shellfish while my smuggler grouped with him and ran destroy missions, looking over every couple minutes to stack the meats, and have collected 2.3k of corellian mollusk in about 2 days playing maybe 2-4 hours each of those 2 days. On corellia at least, mollusk is much more common than crustacean.
