The attachment member configuration is controlled by the locking member, such that a locked configuration corresponds to a closed configuration. The attachment member switches to the open configuration when the piston moves in response to reaching a water depth that results in the external pressure surrounding the airtight chamber being sufficiently greater than the internal pressure within the airtight chamber and the spring force on the piston. In preferred embodiments, a plug attaches to an open ended elongate body and may be moved to set different unlocking requirements (i.e. different release depths). | 11-22-2012 |

| 20110120382 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RESCUE OF AQUATIC MAMMALS - An aquatic mammal rescue device and method includes an array of suction cup lifters that adapt to contact and adhere to the body of an aquatic mammal on land or at the surface of water. The array is lifted to raise the aquatic mammal from the ground or water for transport. The rescue device may be part of a vehicle capable of land, sea, and/or air travel or it may be movable by attachment to a separate vehicle of other lifting mechanism (e.g., crane). The device may be used to transport a beached mammal (e.g., a whale) back to the water or to a treatment facility. It may also be used to take an injured animal from the wild or a tank to a treatment facility. | 05-26-2011 |

Thus, new varieties of ornamental fish of different fluorescence colors from a novel source are developed. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090107409 | Container for transport and acclimation of fish and their acclimation to new environments - A device for the transport, introduction, and acclimation of fish. The device, a bag comprising a window of dialysis membrane, allows fish to be transported within the bag and acclimated to new saline environments by allowing solutes, mainly salt and hydrogen ions, to slowly equilibrate between water within the bag and water in the source environment so as to avoid shock to the fish. Although the majority of the bag is impermeable to solutes, the dialysis membrane window is not, and is size dependent based on the characteristics of the fish to be acclimated. In use, the fish is placed in the bag along with source water from the source of the organism. The bag is then immersed in the destination aquarium, and passive diffusion allows the slow transport of solutes across the semi-permeable dialysis membrane, slowly equalizing the water parameters inside and outside the bag. After an appropriate amount of time has passed, the occupants of the container are removed and placed in the new environment. | 04-30-2009 |
