Live fish may be transported as fry or juveniles to on‐growing farms, and the adult fish may be transported to the slaughterhouse. Good preparation before transport and good routines during transport and reception are therefore important. To avoid fish mortalities it is therefore necessary to have the following: proper water exchange routines and a system for cleaning and re‐use of the transport water or dosing with additives. Reasons for using air transport are mainly remote geographical location or bad infrastructure that make sea or land transport difficult and expensive. The use of helicopters is quite a new method for live fish transport. In some situations it can be necessary to transport live fish over large distances and for long periods of time. In these circumstances there must be either water exchange or continuous flow‐through of water as in well boats, depending on the species being transported.
