BAG-AND-SHIP-LIVE-FISH
Ⅰ.Challenges of Transporting Live Fish 1. Overfeeding and Lack of Conditioning During transport, the more feces are discharged in the fish container (including oxygen bags), the more metabolites decompose, consuming large amounts of oxygen and releasing a significant amount of carbon dioxide. This deteriorates the water quality and reduces the survival rate of the transported fish. 2. Poor Water Quality and Insufficient Dissolved Oxygen It is crucial to maintain good water quality before selling fish. Excessive levels of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite can put fish in a dangerous state of poisoning, and netting stress exacerbates this condition. Fish that have experienced oxygen deficiency and surfaced for air will take several days to recover, so it is prohibited to net fish for sale after such events. Fish in an excited state due to netting stress consume 3-5 times more oxygen. When the water is sufficiently oxygenated, fish remain calm and consume less oxygen. Conversely, insufficient oxygen leads to restlessness, rapid exhaustion,...
