Can live fish be transported without water?
Yes, it's not magic but through hibernation. This is what the multi-awarded Filipino Scientist Bonifacio "Boni" Comandante Jr. said of transporting live fishes for many hours without water such as grouper, tiger prawn, shrimps, snapper, seabass, tilapia, pompano, milkfish, shellfish and crabs by using what he calls the "Buhi Waterless Live Fish Transport Technology". He further said that given the favorable conditions of its environment (which is his trade secret), fishes hibernate or simply "sleeps" and then quickly awakes once brought back to water.
