How to Ship Fish, Aquatic Plants, etc.
Methods vary and one of these days I'll get around to taking pic's of my own methods, but in the meantime...
Preparation of Ornamental Fish For Shipping (http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/FA120)
How I Ship Fish by 'Blessed Silence' (http://www.petfish.net/articles/How_To/shipping_fish.php)
How To Ship Live Fish (http://www.tropicalfishauction.com/shipping.htm)
Shipping Fish by Don Zilliox (http://www.aquarticles.com/articles/travel/Zilliox_Shipping_Fish.html)
How to Ship Live Salt Water Fishes and Shrimp by K. D. Woodburn (http://research.myfwc.com/dg.lts/id.29322/publications.publication_info.htm)
This one is for large scale shipping but it is written by a lot of people with a lot of degrees and makes a good reference:
Shipping Practices in the Ornamental Fish Industry (http://lama.kcc.hawaii.edu/external/ctsa/publications/shipping/shipping.htm)
Some very good posts about shipping aquatic plants here (http://www.thekrib.com/Plants/import.html#5) at The Krib.
Please note: Not all creatures can be shipped using the general methods. 'Bag Busters' require special shipping considerations. I strongly suggest consulting with someone experienced with shipping a particular species or size of fish, if the situation is encountered. This article will get you started in the right direction:
