ABSTRACT:
An improved livewell apparatus and method of operation thereof for use in recreational fishing boats and like watercraft wherein water from the livewell is withdrawn, conveyed through a heat exchange conduit in an auxiliary ice chest or other heat exchange arrangement, and returned to the livewell tank through an aeration spray head. The water in the livewell tank is cooled in this manner to a temperature sufficiently reduced from the natural aquatic habitat of captured gamefish to induce a state of slowed metabolism of the gamefish and, in turn, to prolong their captive life in comparison with conventional livewells.
