ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF INDIVIDUAL FISHERS WITH CUSTOM LIVE WELLS TO MAINTAIN HIGH QUALITY LIVE SEAFOOD
BioNovations 8 Crate Live Well
BioNovations manufactures custom Live Wells for the seafood industry to meet the specific requirements of each species being caught and to work within the space limitations of your fishing vessel to provide a safe environment for the live seafood while still at sea. Constructed of food-grade high density polyethylene (HDPE), with PVC piping and valves.
As the live seafood is harvested, it is graded and banded before being placed in a Traystor® Crate or IPL Crate within the flow-through Live Well to provide a safe environment for the live seafood while still at sea. An optional semi-open refrigerated saltwater system is available for vessels that operate in warmer climates.
Live Wells can be designed to hold as few as 2 (23.5”x36.5”x32” ~200 lbs capacity), or as many as 8 Traystor® Crates (90.5”x36.5”x32” ~800 lbs capacity), but will work seamlessly with standard industry crates also.

Live Well Features
The revolutionary Traystor® Crate gives the seafood industry the ability to control the handling, quality, and monitoring of their live product from the fishing boat to end consumer. Our Live Well works seamlessly with the Traystor® Crate or with standard industry crates to accommodate most fisheries and vessels.
aboard the boat
The supply chain begins onboard the fishing vessel, once the live animal is removed from the ocean and graded, it is then placed in a Traystor® Crate. We manufacture Refrigerated Live Wells for the fishing industry, custom built for each vessel, for holding Traystor® Crates to keep the live product healthy and safe while still at sea.
REFRIGERATED SEAWATER UNIT
For fishing vessels operating in warmer climates it is recommended that a refrigerated saltwater system be added to maintain optimal temperatures for the species being harvested. The semi-open Live Well was designed to maintain a water temperature at 3°C, with seawater at 20°C and ambient air at 21°C, for 800 lbs of seafood.
