To provide a vessel for transporting live fishes capable of preventing stopping of an air pump caused by splashing of water over the air pump or a battery by rocking motion during transportation.

A recessed part 7 for housing the air pump 13 and the battery 12 is completely isolated from water 3 for living live fishes 2 in a vessel 1 with a first channel 4 formed between an inner peripheral protruding part 5 installed along the opening part 1a and an outer peripheral protruding part 6 and a second channel 9 formed between the outer peripheral protruding part 6 and a peripheral protruding part 8 of the recessed part. The air pump 13 and the battery 12 are, therefore, almost completely prevented from being splashed with water 3 for live fishes caused by rocking during transportation and driving of the air pump 3 is prevented from stopping.
