Abstract:
Provided is a method for storage of live crustaceans. The method is performed by causing the live crustacean to enter into an anesthetized state by exposing the crustacean to a combination of xenon and oxygen, cooling the anesthetized live crustacean to a temperature of 1° C. to 10° C. to cause the crustacean to enter into a state of anabiosis, and storing the live crustacean in the state of anabiosis under ambient pressure at 1° C. to 10° C. under from 90% to 100% humidity. Also provided is a container containing a plurality of live crustaceans that are in a state of anabiosis via performance of the method.
