A modular apparatus and system for managing the temperature of a livewell or other container housing water, and an associated method for installing the same. The system featuring a self-contained fluid line in communication with a first fluid line, which is in fluid communication with the livewell. The system further can comprise an output module capable of outputting a signal related to the system. The modular apparatus generally featuring the system and an enclosure. The enclosure may comprise a user interface and be capable of being located in areas with limited available space. The enclosure can be located adjacent the livewell and detachably coupled to a fishing vessel. The modular apparatus and system can further comprise a condenser, which can be a forced air coil unit, a liquid-cooled unit, or a cold plate heat sink unit. The method of installing generally comprises removing existing livewell hose and providing the system.

A handheld crabtrap for catching crabs includes a shaft having a handle with a lever on a proximal end, a trap head with a lid at a distal end of the shaft, and a linkage within the shaft attached to the lever and the trap head. The handle further includes a crab alert bell attached to a cable that also extends to and into the trap head, where it ends in a clip to which the crabber's bait is attached. The trap head is held open via the linkage and lever until a crab pulls on the bait ringing the bell and alerting a crabber to pull on the lever and close the trap head via a string therebetween.

The present invention provides a waterless keep-alive apparatus and a refrigeration appliance having the same. The waterless keep-alive apparatus is provided in an inner tank of a refrigeration appliance, and comprises: a keep-alive box allowing pulling inward and outward; a temperature controlling module and a humidity controlling module which are connected with the keep-alive box; and an air controlling module having an air hole provided on a side wall of the keep-alive box and an air duct fixed on the inner tank of the refrigeration appliance. The air duct is hermetically connected with the air hole when the keep-alive box is pushed into the inner tank of the refrigeration appliance. The air duct is disconnected from the air hole when the keep-alive box is pulled out. The waterless keep-alive apparatus realizes convenient article fetching while the oxygen concentration in the keep-alive box can meet the survival needs of aquatic products.

A marine containment device is disclosed for containing a marine species. The marine containment device comprises a container defining an interior chamber. An aperture is in the container for inputting and outputting the marine species relative to the interior chamber. A closure door closes the aperture. A hinge pivotably couples the closure door with the container. A first flotation body is coupled to the first side wall and a second flotation body is coupled to the second side wall for providing a positive buoyancy while holding a portion of the body of water and marine species within the chamber when the container defines a horizontal position within the body of water. The rear end defines a linear plane for positioning on the surface and maintaining the container in a vertical position while holding a portion of the body of water and marine species within the chamber.
