Electric shocks to live fish can effectively extend transport time

Fisheries experts have found that giving live fish electric shocks to induce a state of suspended animation can extend storage and transport time. The method is to apply a voltage of 5000 volts to each kilogram of live fish such as sea bream for 30 seconds, then let them breathe oxygen for 5 minutes. In this way, the fish carry out the minimal breathing necessary to sustain life and enter a state of suspended animation. Fish in this state of suspended animation consume almost no oxygen and can be stored and transported at a ratio of "half fish, half water," which not only greatly saves on transport costs, but also can extend their survival time to 1 week to 4 weeks. In addition, giving cuttlefish electric shocks not only causes them to enter a state of suspended animation, but also makes the cuttlefish spit out all their ink.
