Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Object] To provide a holder for mounting a flounder and a flatfish which are utilized in a mist container disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,309,868. [Structure] A recess 16 of a contour 14 on which a flounder and a flatfish are placed is formed on the surface of a plate body 12, and the recess 1 extends from a part 18 corresponding to the caudal fin to a part corresponding to the head 20.
The bottom surface of 6 is inclined so that the head of the fish does not protrude from the surface of the plate 12 and the portion from the head to the gills is immersed in the water accumulated in the recess.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to flounder and flounder holders, and more particularly to holders used for storing or transporting flounders and flounders in the form of live fish.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, to store or transport live fish in a living state, put live fish in an aquarium, adjust the water temperature in the aquarium, adjust the oxygen content in the water, and store it in the aquarium. It was mounted on a seaplane and transported.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the case of transporting live fish in an aquarium as described above, the number of fish stored in the aquarium is limited, and a large amount of water is transported, which is extremely economically disadvantageous.

Further, when a water tank containing water is transported, live fish violently shakes together with the water, which causes stress on the live fish in water and shortens its life.

In order to solve these problems, 1992 Japanese Patent Application No. 95980 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-260881), US Pat. No. 5,309,868, Canadian Patent No. 2 082769 and Australian Patent No. The invention adapts live fish, reduces its metabolic function, stores it in a container kept at a low temperature, and injects a mixture of seawater and air containing sufficient oxygen into the container, Disclosed is a technique for storing or transporting live fish without containing it in water by making the inside of a container into a fog.

Hereinafter, this container will be abbreviated as “mist container”. By using this mist container, a large amount of live seafood can be stored and transported for a long time without using a large amount of water, and it is operating in various fields.

By the way, when the flounder and the flatfish which live in the mist container are stored, these flounders and flounders must be arranged in a flat manner. Also, flounders and flounders consume a lot of energy when they bail up their caudal fins, and they require a large amount of oxygen.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a container, that is, a holder, for holding flatfish and flatfishes that have lived in the aforementioned mist container in a flat state.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To this end, the flounder and flounder holder of the present invention has a shape suitable for placing flounders and flounders on the upper surface of a flat plate, and its direction from its tail to its head, especially, It is provided with a sloping depression so that the area from the head to the gills is submerged in water.

[0010]

【Example】

 A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the holder 10 of the present invention has a recess 16 having a contour 14 on which a flatfish and a flatfish of an appropriate size are placed, which is formed on the surface of a plate 12, and which is attached to the tail fin thereof. The bottom of the recess 16 is inclined from the part 18 to the part corresponding to the head 20 so that the head of the fish does not protrude from the surface of the plate 12 and the part from the head to the gills becomes the recess. It is soaked in the accumulated water.

[0012]

[Function and effect of the device]

 When, for example, flatfish are placed on the holder of the present invention and arranged flatly in the mist container and stored, the body surface of the flounder is covered by a thick fog of a mixture of seawater filling the container and air containing sufficient oxygen. The water condensate from the thick fog of the mixture of seawater and air gathers in the sloped and deep fish head and gills in the recess 16, which allows the flounder to breathe completely. It can be carried out.

If necessary, a recess 16 is formed on the surface of one plate 12 so that a plurality of flounders or flounders can be mounted. A suitable support member can be removably attached to the top of the head to protect the fish's head.
