ABSTRACT:
A method transporting live fish including shellfish for a long period of time and with less damage to the fish bodies includes immobilizing the fish prior to transportation. One electrode is provided at the head portion of the fish, and another electrode is provided at the tail portion of the fish, whereby a current is allowed to flow between the electrodes to place the fish in an anesthetized condition, after which the spinal cord of the fish is cut. By this method, the live fish are immobilized. Then, only the fish are inserted through a fish insertion opening of a bag for transporting the fish, wherein at the upper portion of the bag formed of a material having water resistance and being thermally fused is formed, integral with the material, a web-like pouring tube for liquid with air or oxygen. Water or sea water with air or oxygen is poured through the pouring tube and after this, the extreme end of the pouring tube is thermally fused to seal the interior of the bag, in which state the fish are transported.
