  • Patent number: 12137675
    Abstract: A livewell system for installation on a marine vessel includes a tank configured to hold water, a lid configured to be secured over an opening at an upper end of the tank, and an overflow outlet located proximate the upper end of the tank. When the lid is secured over the opening and the tank is filled with water, an underside of the lid is configured to contact substantially an entire upper surface of the water such that substantially no air gap is present between the upper surface of the water and the lower surface of the lid. A hybrid aerator spray head and venturi fitting coupled to the tank provides oxygenated water into the tank.
