1. An arrangement for a well boat- and service vessel (1) for transporting or storing fish or other aquatic organisms, the well boat- and service vessel (1) comprising: a self-floating, exchangeable well unit (2) for transporting live fish and other live aquatic organisms, the fish and aquatic organisms being transferred live from a first location to a second location; and a propulsion unit (3),wherein the propulsion unit comprises propulsion means (4), steering and positioning means, a dock (5) for the well unit, positioning and attachment means for positioning and securing the well unit (2) in the dock (5) while the well unit is filled with water and live fish, and a ballast system for raising and lowering the propulsion unit in the water, andwherein the well unit includes a fish feeding system. 2. An arrangement for a well boat- and service vessel (1) for transporting or storing fish or other aquatic organisms, the well boat- and service vessel (1) comprising: a self-floating, exchangeable well unit (2) for transporting live fish and other live aquatic organisms, the fish and aquatic organisms being transferred live from a first location to a second location, where the well unit comprises a ballast system for raising and lowering the propulsion unit in the water; and a propulsion unit (3),wherein the propulsion unit comprises propulsion means (4), steering and positioning means, a dock (5) for the well unit, positioning and attachment means for positioning and securing the well unit (2) in the dock (5) while the well unit is filled with water and live fish. 3. A system for a well boat- and service vessel (1) for transporting or storing fish or other aquatic organisms, the well boat- and service vessel (1) comprising: a plurality of self-floating, exchangeable well units for transporting live fish and other live aquatic organisms, the fish and aquatic organisms being transferred live from a first location to a second location; and a propulsion unit (3),wherein the propulsion unit comprises propulsion means (4), steering and positioning means, a dock (5) for at least one of the well units, positioning and attachment means for positioning and securing at least one of the well units in the dock (5), andwherein each well unit includes a fish feeding system. 4. A method for the use of a well boat- and service vessel (1) for transporting or storing fish or other aquatic organisms, where the well boat- and service vessel comprises i) a self-floating, exchangeable well unit (2) for transporting live fish and other live aquatic organisms, the fish being transferred live from a first location to a second location and ii) a propulsion unit (3), where the propulsion unit comprises propulsion means (4), steering and positioning means, a dock (5) for the well unit, positioning and attachment means for positioning and securing the well unit (2) in the dock (5), and a ballast system for raising and lowering the propulsion unit in the water, the method comprising the steps of: maneuvering the propulsion unit (3) to the well unit (2),lowering the propulsion unit (3) down into the water by means of the ballast system so that the propulsion unit (3) is able to drive in under the well unit (2),positioning and attaching the well unit (2) onto a surface of the dock (5) on the propulsion unit (3), wherein this operation comprises the act of raising the propulsion unit (3), during said positioning and attaching step, the well unit containing live fish, andtransporting the well unit (2) and the live fish therein with the aid of the propulsion means (4) on the propulsion unit to a destination at the second location,wherein the live fish is live farmed fish and the destination is a fish processing location. 5. A method for the use of a well boat- and service vessel (1) for transporting or storing fish or other aquatic organisms, where the well boat- and service vessel comprises i) a self-floating, exchangeable well unit (2) for transporting live fish and other live aquatic organisms, the fish and aquatic organisms being transferred live from a first location to a second location and ii) a propulsion unit (3), where the propulsion unit (3) comprises propulsion means (4), steering and positioning means, a dock (5) for the well unit (2), positioning and attachment means for positioning and securing the well unit (2) in the dock (5), and wherein the well unit (2) comprises a ballast system for raising and lowering the well unit in the water, the method comprising the steps of: maneuvering the propulsion unit (3) to the well unit (2),raising the well unit (2) up in the water by means of the ballast system, so that the propulsion unit (3) is able to drive in under the well unit (2),positioning and securing the well unit (2) onto a surface of the dock (5) on the propulsion unit (3), wherein this operation comprises the act of lowering the well unit (2) during said positioning and securing step, the well unit containing live fish, andtransporting the well unit (2) and the live fish therein with the aid of the propulsion means (4) on the propulsion unit (3) to a destination at the second location. 6. The method according to claim 4, wherein the propulsion unit (3) delivers the well unit (2) to the destination by reversing the given steps, whereupon the propulsion unit proceeds to another location to fetch another well unit, thereafter to bring this to a new destination. 7. The method according to claim 4, wherein the propulsion unit (3) delivers the well unit (2) to the destination by reversing the given steps, whereupon the propulsion unit (3) takes with it another well unit from the destination and brings the well unit to a new destination. 8. The method according to claim 5, wherein the propulsion unit (3) delivers the well unit (2) to the destination by reversing the given steps, whereupon the propulsion unit proceeds to another location to fetch another well unit, thereafter to bring this to a new destination. 9. The method according to claim 5, wherein the propulsion unit (3) delivers the well unit (2) to the destination by reversing the given steps, whereupon the propulsion unit (3) takes with it another well unit from the destination and brings the well unit to a new destination. 10. The method according to claim 4, wherein, during said step of maneuvering the propulsion unit (3) to the well unit (2), the surface of the dock (5) onto which the well unit (2) is positioned during said position and attaching step, is located within the water, andduring said step of transporting the well unit (2), the surface of the dock (5) onto which the well unit (2) is positioned during said position and attaching step, remains located within the water. 11. The method according to claim 5, wherein, during said step of maneuvering the propulsion unit (3) to the well unit (2), the surface of the dock (5) onto which the well unit (2) is positioned during said position and attaching step, is located within the water, andduring said step of transporting the well unit (2), the surface of the dock (5) onto which the well unit (2) is positioned during said position and attaching step, remains located within the water. 12.
