How to keep shrimp alive over night

Описание: Here is a quick video for ya'll on how I kept bait shrimp alive over night.

Here is what I used:
-5 gallon bucket, larger would be better, more water
-A bubbler, with air stone
-Frozen water bottles

With regards to the bucket, the more water you can have is better as dissipates the POO and other bad things live animals give off. I filled my bucket half way.

The bubbler will add aeriation to the water to give the lil buggers oxygen, kind of common knowledge here....lol

The frozen water bottles will drop the water temp. This is key as shrimp are a cold blooded species, thus their metabolism is directly linked to the water temp they are in, high temp - high metabolism. So the colder the water the longer they will last.

I kept them in my garage over night for about 17 hours, and lost 9 out of 50.
The ambient temp in my garage was about 90 degrees, which thawed out the water bottles pretty quick. I had to swap out the frozen bottles about every 4 hours to maintain a cooler temp.

I also transported them to the boat ramp in the same bucket. Once at the ramp I transferred them in to a trolling style bait bucket with the bubbler, tossed them in the gheenoe and off I went.

This also worked for live Crabs as well.
