Abstract:
Transport of live aquatic organisms which is more than a century old,
perhaps started in the 1870's (Norris et al, 1960). Live fish transportation is
an essential practice in aquaculture particularly in rural areas of developing
countries representing the only means of supplying fry to small scale aqua
culturists (Taylor and Ross, 1988). Very often, large numbers of fry,
fingerlings, juveniles and adult fish are being transported from the hatchery
to fish farms, fish farms to market, processors and consumers. Live fish
command large economic importance in the fresh fish market than dead and
iced fish. Medina Pizzali (2001) observed that live fish in the Kolkata market
was usually sold at higher prices than dead fish and most consumers were
prepared to pay premium prices for live fish, which is considered as the best
guarantee of freshness, quality, and intrinsic characteristics of its flesh (better
texture and delicate flavour) in comparison with fresh/chilled seafood.
Various government and private agencies undertake transport of live fish for
commercial live fish market or for artificial propagation of game
