Live fish transportation: Place plastic film at the bottom and sides of wooden crates (using wooden barrels is even better) to keep the fish immersed in water during transit. To minimize mortality, remove any fish that lack mobility or show signs of physical damage before loading. Additionally, cover the top of the crate with a nylon mesh screen to prevent live fish from jumping out of the water or falling out of the vehicle. For long-distance transport, employing a sleep-inducing method can significantly improve survival rates. This involves injecting a 50% mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen into the water, which puts the fish into a state of induced coma. Once in this condition, carefully remove them from the water and pack them into plastic bags, boxes, or containers for transport. This technique allows the fish to remain dormant for 30 to 40 hours, ensuring they arrive safely at their destination. Upon arrival, simply place the fish back into clean water, and within minutes, they’ll gradually regain consciousness and return to normal activity.
