FIGURE 1. Trawl net ujed for capturing opossum shrimp at Waterton Lake, Canada. Phofo by Ted C. Frantz. placed directly in Talioe water in September 1963, and one remained alive for 6 months. The aquarium was in subdued light, aerated, and held at 42°F. The water Avas not changed or filtered. Opossum shrimp were transferred from the tow net to a large tub and then separated from as much extraneous material and foreign or- ganisms as possible and placed in 5-gallon cans. They were held in a pond at Waterton Park Hatchery in perforated wooden boxes lined with plastic screen. Survival was good at densities as high as 1,000 per gallon. As time permitted and prior to loading into containers for final transportation all obvious unwanted organisms were removed. The last cleaning took place during the tempering process prior to release. Shipments were flown to Lake Tahoe from Cutbank, Montana, in lots of approximately .50,000 each. Shrimp were transported in lots of 3,000 in 5-gallou aluminum milk cans which were iced and aerated in transit, or in lots of 1,000 in 5-gallon plastic containers ("cubitainers") in cartons. These were half filled with water and ice, the air replaced with oxygen, and then sealed. The shrimp fared well in both types during the 10-hour trip (5J-hours in air transit). Shrimp from "Wisconsin were shipped in 10, 5-galloii cubitainers, each loaded with 2,000 shrimp. The same shipping procedures as above were used. They were flown from Oshkosh to San Francisco and then were taken by car to Huntington Lake. About 10 percent died during the 30-hour trip. In 1964, the feasibility of transporting large numbers of shrimp in a one-half-ton pickup with canopy was tested. Cubitainers were used.
