Fish, when traveling in tanks on steamships, get seasick just like humans, but go a step further and often bring fellow tank yasfengers to the verge of death by the. poisons they emit.

Authority for this statement is Louis Mowbray, widely known fUh collector who is credited with having transported more fish across the ocean than any other person. Mr. Mowbray, who nukes regular trips to Florida -waters for specimens for the New York Aquarium, explained his method of transporting the fish at the conclusion of a trip recently. Tanks Connected By Tipea After a fishing expedition is completed the species are assorted and placed in the tanks aboard the ship.
