In aquaculture, transporting fish from one location to another is inevitable. Fry and fingerlings are moved from hatchery to fish farms, adult fish are moved from fish farms to market and processors, etc. Very often large numbers of fry, fingerlings, and adult fish are being transported. It is imperative that proper steps and precautions are taken to ensure that there is no mortality resulting from the transportation. To achieve this, the following criteria should be satisfied: good water quality, healthy fish, proper loading density, and good capture and handling methods.

To improve the transport conditions, an understanding of the factors which cause death or distress to fish is essential. Several factors can become lethal agents during transportation. These can act individually, or more frequently in combination, and thus with increased capacity to cause mortality. The most obvious factors are dissolved oxygen, water temperature, pH, ammonia level, carbon dioxide, and loading density.
