A rear edge of a perimeter wall of the container defines an opening to the interior space. A porous rear wall extends across the opening and is configured for permitting a water through the opening and containing a fish in the interior space. A container door opens and closes a container aperture for placing the fish into the interior space. A flotation member is coupled to the container and has a density such that it is configured to float the device.
