2. Livewell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livewell

   It works by pumping fresh water from the surrounding body into the tank, as well as keeping the water aerated. A rule of thumb for determining the necessitated size of a livewell is that every one inch length of fish needs a gallon (3.8 liter ) of water if it is desired to keep the fish alive for a prolonged period of time.

3. Well-boat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-boat

   A well-boat is a fishing vessel with a well or tank for the storage and transport of live fish. The term well-boat or well smack was first used in the 17th century. [1] Before modern refrigeration methods, well-boats allowed for the delivery of live fish to port. Contemporary well-boats are used in the extensive aquaculture industry.

4. Fishing vessel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_vessel

   A fishing vessel is a boat or ship used to catch fish and other valuable nektonic aquatic animals (e.g. shrimps/prawns, krills, coleoids, etc.) in the sea, lake or river. Humans have used different kinds of surface vessels in commercial, artisanal and recreational fishing.

5. Pump-jet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump-jet

   A pump-jet, hydrojet, or water jet is a marine system that produces a jet of water for propulsion. The mechanical arrangement may be a ducted propeller (axial-flow pump), a centrifugal pump, or a mixed flow pump which is a combination of both centrifugal and axial designs. The design also incorporates an intake to provide water to the pump and ...

6. Marine pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_pump

   The rotational energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing), from where it exits. The gear pump is a marine gear pump that uses the meshing of gears to pump ...

7. Pumpjack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpjack

   A pumpjack is the overground drive for a reciprocating piston pump in an oil well. [1] It is used to mechanically lift liquid out of the well if there is not enough bottom hole pressure for the liquid to flow all the way to the surface. The arrangement is often used for onshore wells. Pumpjacks are common in oil-rich areas.

8. Johnboat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnboat

   Typical options may include live wells/bait wells, side or center consoles, factory-installed decks and floors, electrical wiring, accessory pads/mountings, and casting and poling platforms. Johnboats are available commercially between 8 and 24 feet (2.4 and 7.3 m) [ 2 ] long and 32 to 60 inches (81 to 152 cm) wide, though custom sizes may be ...

9. Marine propulsion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_propulsion

   A pump-jet, hydrojet, water jet, or jet drive uses a ducted propeller (axial-flow pump), centrifugal pump, or mixed flow pump to create a jet of water for propulsion. These incorporate an intake for source water and a nozzle to direct its flow out, generating momentum, and in most cases, employing thrust vectoring to steer the craft.
