Old news but amazing nonetheless.

An aquaculturist from Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental has developed a technology that extends a fish's survival without water while in transit for several hours by virtually putting it into a deep sleep or in "suspended animation."
Bonifacio Comandante, Jr., invented the technology by undergoing a conditioning process in which the fishes, or any marine species, are held overnight in filtered, circulated seawater at about 30-degrees Centigrade without feeding them.
The fishes are transferred afterward to another tank filled with brackish water initially kept at four-degrees Centigrade, then gradually allowed to reach 18 to 20 degrees Centigrade.
An anti-stress conditioning and acclimatizing then follows by adding a mixture of a liquid solution called Buhi Blend, developed by Comandante, to the conditioning tank, immersing the fishes into it for four minutes after which the "stunned" fishes are arranged in cooled (18 to 20 degrees C) Styropor boxes lined with plastic bags.
The bags are later filled with medical oxygen and sealed for transport. The fishes are expected to regain consciousness and return to life after about nine hours.
