It is advisable for you to also try and do this, as not only does it eliminate corners for the fish to become trapped in, but it also insulates, and keeps the fish safe should the unlikely event occur of one of the bags breaking. At our shop we always “double bag” fish when we catch them for people. Do not blow into the bag to inflate it, as your breath will be oxygen depleted. Once the fish is in the bag, try and trap as much air in the bag as possible, and seal the top with a rubber band. 1 gallon of saltwater at 1.025 equals 8.54 lbs.When you lift the fish from the water in order to put your it into the fish bag, ensure that you cover the net with your other hand, as fish can jump. 1 gallon of water 8.34lbs times the specific gravity of say 1.025 equals 8.5485lbs (8.43 x 1.025 = 8.5485) The weight of the water will increase directly proportionate to the weight of the salt being dissolved in the water. A gallon of freshwater at a specific gravity of 1.000 weighs 8.34lbs. The weights are an estimate because the amount of rock, thickness of glass and type of water all effect the weight calculations. Below are some rough guidelines as to what to expect when looking at aquariums and empty vs full weight.
