 Back from airport with 30" by 30" by 72" catfish shipping container. Six thousand gallon Koi pond in foreground. |
 Heated outdoor 2,400 gallon aquarium containing catfish to be shipped to new Georgia Aquarium. http://www.georgiaaquarium.org/ |
 Catfish shipping container can hold 280 gallons when filled to capacity; however it was only partially filled for shipment. |
 Water level has been dropped in 2400 gallon outdoor aquarium to enable netting of the fish.
|
 We used a "catch and release" type net with a wide rubber web rather than the common nylon web net. |

| The Tiger Shovelnose and other fish were shipped on a Delta non-stop flight from Seattle to Atlanta, September 19, 2005. The fish travel time, water to water, was 12 hours. The dissolved oxygen level in the 280 gallon shipping container was maintained using two battery operated air pumps with diffusers running on size "D" alkaline batteries. All fish arrived in good condition. |
