| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to develop a low temperature waterless container for live fish transportation which is economical and efficient. The principle of the waterless transportation is that a live fish becomes asphyxial at about 5℃ so it can survive without water for a long time. A low temperature waterless container is developed for this purpose, which utilizesthermoelectric modules for rather smaller and lighter cooling system with precise temperature control devise compared to the existing mechanical system. At first, we succeeded in making flounders alive in the waterless container for 24 hours. Also when flounders were transported in a round trip from Inchon to Pusan in the waterless container,carried in a car, they survived in the waterless container for over 21 hours. |
