Last Updated: 2024/11/10, An aquaculture company in the Philippines has launched a new technology to transport live fish without water. As the saying goes, "fish cannot do without water, and melons cannot do without rice seedlings." the so-called "live fish transported without water" actually uses a special method to make the fish "hibernate". Komandandi, the inventor of the technology, said that the operation of transporting live fish without water is carried out in three steps. First, put the live fish in the water and starve for two or three days, remove the waste from the body, and then put the fish into the plastic bag. The second step is to add it to the plastic bag.

An aquaculture company in the Philippines has launched a new technology to transport live fish without water.

As the saying goes, "fish cannot do without water, and melons cannot do without rice seedlings." the so-called "live fish transported without water" actually uses a special method to make the fish "hibernate".

Komandandi, the inventor of the technology, said that the operation of transporting live fish without water is carried out in three steps. First, put the live fish in water and starve for two to three days, remove the waste from the body, and then put the fish into a plastic bag; the second step is to add a special solvent developed by Comandandi himself to the plastic bag. The fish will go into a "sleep state" after staying in it for about 4 minutes. Finally, transfer the whole plastic bag to a special fresh-keeping container of 18 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius and place oxygen bags around it. After this treatment, live fish can "sleep" for about 9 hours.

Comandandi showed people how he took the hibernating fish out of the plastic foam box and put them in a container. People saw that the hibernating fish woke up immediately after entering the water, still alive.

Comandandi said they did not use an anesthetic, and if it was an anesthetic, they would have to wait for the effect to disappear before the fish could wake up. With this new technology, fish will "live" as soon as they come into contact with water.

Komandandi says shipping live fish in this way can save 75% of transportation costs. The fisheries department of the Philippine government has also affirmed Comandandi's invention from the perspective of food safety.
