PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hibernation induction method of fishes that can induce fishes in a pseudo-hibernation state at low cost, and enables the fishes to live at a high revival rate, even if being left in air 24 hours or more under anhydrous environment, and to provide an anhydrous transportation method.SOLUTION: A hibernation induction method includes the steps of: farming fishes at rest during a first time τ1 in an aquarium maintained in a rest farming temperature TA quenching the fishes, by moving the fishes to the aquarium maintained in a cold acclimatization temperature TB lower than the rest farming temperature TA, after the lapse of the first time τ1 inducing the fishes in a pseudo-hibernation state by bringing the fishes into the acclimatization at rest during a second time τ2 in the aquarium maintained in the cold acclimatization temperature TB, and furthermore continuing the acclimatization and moving the fishes to a shipping container maintained at an oxygen concentration of 60% or more after the lapse of the second time τ2 and conveying the shipping container to transport the fishes in a pseudo-hibernation state under anhydrous environment.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】低コストで魚類を疑似冬眠状態に誘導でき、無水の環境で24時間以上空中に放置しても魚類が高い蘇生率で生存可能な、魚類の冬眠誘導方法、及び無水輸送方法を提供する。【解決手段】魚類を安静畜養温度TAに維持された水槽中で、第1の時間τ1安静に畜養する段階と、 第1の時間τ1の経過後、魚類を安静畜養温度TAより低い低温馴化温度TBに維持された水槽中に移動することで、魚類を急冷する段階と、魚類を低温馴化温度TBに維持された水槽中で、第2の時間τ2、安静に馴化させることで、魚類を疑似冬眠状態に誘導し更に馴化を継続する段階と、第2の時間τ2の経過後、魚類を、酸素濃度60%以上に維持された輸送用容器に移動して、この輸送用容器を搬送することによって、疑似冬眠の状態の魚類を無水の環境で輸送する段階とを含む。【選択図】 図1
