A transport tank for use in live haul truck transport of aquatic species such as catfish is formed of rotomolded plastic. The tank has a grooved floor which is covered with a perforated plate. The grooves contain aeration lines which run along the length of the floor. The aeration lines have threaded end fittings which engage a doubly threaded nut which is received in a sidewall opening of the tank. The hoses can be removed for servicing by simply unthreading the doubly threaded nut and pulling the aeration lines out of the sidewall openings.
