Description The survival of the tropical edible oyster (Crassostrea madrasensis)
was examined under the condition of ice-storage in a rectangular
thermocol-transport box for a period of 48 h. A total of 100
two-year old farmed oysters were used for the experimental
transportation. Inside the box, all oysters were arranged in four
layers covered with wet-gunny bags and lined on the top and
bottom with ice. Surface and bottom temperature of the
transport box varied from 9.7 to 25.2˚ C and 9.7 to 28.4˚ C
respectively during the 48 h exposure. The patterns of changing
temperature at both surface and bottom were found to be
different. Recoveries of the oysters at every two hours till 48h
were monitored by taking random samples from the box. All the
oysters recovered within 1 h of being placed back into seawater
and there was close to 100% recovery within 2 hours.
