Just a general question I have about how large sharks (or any large fish for that matter) are transported. I am not buying anything large but am generally curious.
Most fish when purchased from a store are in small bags and easy to transport. I was just at a pet store that had 4ft white tip and black tip sharks for sale ($8000 each). If someone was to purchase that animal I have a few questions.
Sharks were in a tank like 20ft by 10ft and like 4 ft deep. How would they get the shark out of there?
What would the sharks be transported in? Would you need a truck with its own tank for transportation?
Do you think they would verify the person had a suitable tank for the sharks to go in?
Just trying to connect the dots on how this shark would be moved. I only have a 40 gallon set up so again this is just because I am curious.
Thanks,
TB
