ABSTRACT:
A shrimp bait container is disclosed which includes a plurality of stacked trays, with each tray storing live shrimp bait in a water medium. Each tray is substantially a frusto-pyramidal shaped housing having four sides and a bottom, composed of a relatively thick, thermally insulating material. The sides extend upwardly and outwardly from the bottom and are inclined so that the outer surfaces thereof for an upper one of the trays will mate with the inner surfaces thereof for an adjacent, lower one of the trays, forming an enclosed volume for storing the water medium containing the shrimp bait. The bottom of each tray has a perforation therethrough. An adjustable water depth controlling pipe is slideably mounted in substantial vertical orientation in the perforation in the bottom of each housing, having a height above the bottom which can be vertically adjusted and through which water within the enclosed volume may overflow, thus defining the depth of the water. The shrimp bait contained in the water medium can thus be preserved alive in the thermally insulated environment. Overcrowding of the live shrimp can be avoided by selectively adjusting the depth of the water in each tray so as to be shallow enough to prevent the shrimp from smothering one another, consistent with their segregated size and species. The water in each respective stacked tray can be conveniently refreshed by introducing new water in the top tray, which will cascade through each successively lower tray.
