Also, I never fill my coolers more than about 1/3 full, in order to keep
water from sloshing out and perhaps taking fishes with it. The fishes
do tolerate the sloshing quite well. I use Styrofoam shipping boxes
(thick ones, not the fish store kind) instead of plastic coolers - they
insulate better, which is a necessity when transporting stream fishes in
90+ degree Mississippi weather. Vets usually have plenty of these. I'm
sure your biology department has a few lying around.
