Abstract: The invention relates to a container assembly comprising a container for depuration of mollusks and a drain canal unit. The assembly provides a closed circulation of water via a circulation route that has an entry portion between the floor of the container and the drain canal unit, a circulation channel between the corner of the container and a drain canal unit, and a drain canal within the drain canal unit. Also provided is a drain canal unit for use in stackable containers that provides circulation of water within a container assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system of stackable open-top containers. The system comprises male and female containers that can be alternately stacked, either in upright or inverted position. When the system contains containers that are stacked in inverted position on top of upright container, substantial space saving is obtained by the system. The invention also provides male and female containers that are useful in the system of containers.

Abstract: A reusable container is provided for storage and transport of prepared meat in log format. The container has a base, a pair of upwardly extending side walls, and a pair of upwardly extending end walls connected with the side walls to form a generally rectangular box. The box has four interior edges and four interior corners where the side and end walls join the base. The box is integrally formed of molded polyethylene. Each of the four interior edges and four interior corners has a rounded interior profile to prevent accumulation of material and facilitate sanitation between uses. A reusable container system is also provided having a removable lid, and access panel.
