RE: Traveling fish

["Brett Kemker" <bkemker@mailer.fsu.edu>]

Bob makes a good point.  If it is feasible have them bag the fish using
oxygen, one fish per bag, and place a bag of ice in an enclosed styro.  This
should cover all the bases more than adequately.
Be good to yourself,

Sure.  No problem.  If they can survive several days in the mail, they can
survive 12 hours on the road.  Be sure to use a styro, and if the day is as
warm as most have been lately, you may want to drop a couple of ice cubes in
there now and then.  Remember, as temperature goes up, metabolism goes up
and
dissolved oxygen goes down.
