With the increasing market demand for fresh fish and shellfish, the research for their keep alive transportation technology has become a hot spot. Low temperature can make fish and shellfish breathing weakened, reducing metabolism and turning into the "hibernation" state, and make waterless keep alive transport easily. The key processes of fish and shellfish ecological ice temperature waterless transport includes ecological ice temperature determination, gradient cooling, storage and transportation environment, technics of waking up, while some examples was used to explain the process. The technical points needed to pay attention for this keep alive transportation technology was also analyzed, such as the variety of fish and shellfish, transport equipment and transport links in the organic link. Finally, the existing ecological ice temperature waterless keep alive transportation technology was summarized, and the future research trend and direction of the technology were pointed out, which provided a reference for optimizing and improving the ecological ice temperature and non water transport system.
