Towable live well device
11930802 · 2024-03-19 ·

A towable live well device for storing fish in a floating live well towed behind a vessel includes a container which tapers from a rear end to a tow end and defines an interior space. A rear edge of a perimeter wall of the container defines an opening to the interior space. A porous rear wall extends across the opening and is configured for permitting a water through the opening and containing a fish in the interior space. A container door opens and closes a container aperture for placing the fish into the interior space. A flotation member is coupled to the container and has a density such that it is configured to float the device. A tow bracket is coupled to the container and is configured for securely tying to a tow line for towing the device by a vessel.

Media insert for use with an oxygen generation device
11904269 · 2024-02-20 · ·

An oxygen generation device having a compressed air supply device, air cooling coil, a fan, pneumatic valve system, a housing, at least one media insert, an on-off switch, a printed circuit board, and a touch screen. The pneumatic valve system includes an air inlet port, a first air outlet port connected to the inlet of the first media insert, a second air outlet port connected to the inlet of the second media insert. The air inlet port receives compressed air from the compressed air supply device and alternatingly provides the compressed air to one of the first media insert and the second media insert. The lower housing includes check valve ball moveable between the first position and the second position and alternatingly controlling a flow of compressed air through the first media insert and the second media insert.

Livewell for fishing boats

Some fishing boats include a livewell system. This document describes livewell systems that have multiple modes of operation. The modes of operation include, at least, a first mode with a lower water level and a second mode with a higher water level. While the livewell is operating in the second mode, the tank is nearly full of water. Accordingly, with a nearly full tank, the water in the livewell will resist sloshing around while the boat is navigating rough seas or travelling at high speeds or for long distances. Moreover, the health of the fish in the livewell will be protected because of the water's lessened tendency to slosh around in the livewell.

Bag for Boat Livewell

A bag for boat livewell for providing efficient removal and transport of fish from a boat's live well. The bag for boat livewell generally includes a bag having a floor, an upper opening opposite of the floor, a first sidewall extending from the floor, a second sidewall extending from the floor, a first end wall extending between the first sidewall and the second sidewall, and a second end wall extending between the first sidewall and second sidewall. The bag is constructed of a water permeable material. A first handle and a second handle extend from the first sidewall and the second sidewall respectively. A first interior closure and a second interior closure are attached to the sidewalls for selective closing of the upper opening. A first buoyant member and a second buoyant member are attached to the first sidewall and the second sidewall respectively.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANIPULATING FISH
20190289836 · 2019-09-26 ·

Certain types of fish respond differently to certain stimuli than other types of fish. Particularly, predetermined sound or vibration can cause certain types of fish to move away or jump. These reactions by particular types of fish can be used to capture the fish or prevent then from accessing parts of water systems. An exemplary capture mechanism employs multiple receptacles adapted to catch jumping fish from the air. An exemplary barrier of directed sound can prevent fish migration.
