A method and an apparatus for inducing artificial hibernation of marine animal, wherein the temperature of sea water with marine animals is gradually lowered in stepwise process, while the sea water temperature is kept as is for a predetermined period of time at each step of lowering temperature, whereby the predetermined period of time maintained for each step of the lowered temperature is gradually increased to a point where changes of oxygen consumption by the marine animals greatly decreased or the changes of oxygen consumption is reached almost zero, and starting from this point, the time of constantly maintaining the sea water temperature at each step is gradually reduced to thereby ensuring a long survival rate (viability) of marine animals.

L'invention concerne une méthode et un appareil destinés à induire l'hibernation artificielle d'un animal marin. La température de l'eau de mer contenant des animaux marins est progressivement abaissée dans un procédé par étapes, la température de l'eau de mer étant maintenue au même niveau pendant une durée prédéterminée à chaque étape de l'abaissement de température. La durée prédéterminée de maintien pour chaque étape de l'abaissement de température est progressivement augmentée jusqu'à ce que les changements de consommation d'oxygène par les animaux marins soient fortement réduits ou que les changements de consommation d'oxygène soient quasi nuls. A partir de là, la durée du maintien de la température de l'eau de mer à un niveau constant à chaque étape est progressivement réduite, ce qui permet d'obtenir un important taux de survie (viabilité) des animaux marins.
