ABSTRACT:
A specially adapted container for transporting lobsters or other marine organisms in an aerated water environment is in the basic configuration of a drum housing with removeable cover and vent hole. A low pressure air diffuser is positioned in the drum housing at the base for releasing diffuse low pressure air into sea water contained in the drum. Air coupling for delivering low pressure air to the diffuser is provided along with inlet and outlet openings for circulating fresh sea water in lieu of diffuser aeration. Different covers for the container may be provided for loading by the fisherman and for subsequent transport. The invention further includes a complete system for containerized transport of lobsters by truck or other vehicle in the aerated water environment provided by the containers. The method of the invention provides for handling and transporting lobsters in aerated sea water from a boat at the dock to a lobster pound or similar destination. The method may be completely automated as disclosed. Injury to the lobsters and consequent shrinkage of pounded lobsters live stored for long periods of time is effectively eliminated.
