You ain’t seen nothing yet.
This is a restaurant in Osaka where you catch and then eat your own fish right there in the restaurant. (It’s very touristy, though.)

Based on how sturdy the build looks on the demo unit(and how tenuous the market for short term live fish storage solutions when the classic plastic bag is often good enough unless you tarry); it wouldn’t surprise me if the intended market is people with greater willingness to pay; but also more demanding requirements.
I’ve read that there are sometimes rather ghastly incidents in marine biology when sampling deepwater species using subs or ROVs, ruptured swim bladders on ascent and all that. They’d probably be enthusiastic about a handy little pressure vessel to avoid those sorts of incidents.
Or it could be that it looks sturdy and serious because prototypes are what you build before brutal cost optimization kicks in; and I’m just vastly underestimating the projected Japanese enthusiasm for carrying live fish around.

It’s better than Salmon Satchel.

The hemispherical ends of the case seem unnecessary (except to make it capsule shape), balancing it while juggling a fish in without spilling water/fish calls for an extra limb.
I once saw a man in a Macau market carrying a live fish in a bag woven from palm fronds. Presumably the live state did not last long.
It’s a bit like one of these, isnt’t it.
Just with water and for fish. And not to resuscitate them.

You should just stick to befriending sea-creatures who don’t need specialised equipment to take them for a walk.

Stay weird, Japan. We’re counting on you.
