This is interesting no good for the scale you want but interesting:


USE OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AS AN OXYGEN SOURCE

Large capital outlay is required for tanks and other specialized equipment used in fish transport with pure bottled oxygen. A practical method for hydrogen peroxide use in fingerling transport has been developed by N. Innes Taylor and L.G. Ross at the Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling, Stirling FK9 4LA (Great Britain). Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to yield oxygen and water. It is available from pharmacies in most countries. Though expensive, it does not require a large capital outlay if small quantities of fish are being transported. The system is described below.

1) Dip a 2-l capacity (26 cm x 26 cm) plastic bag in clean water several times to get it wet.
Then, shake it to remove excess water.
2) Place 1 g of fish liver in the bag.
3) Crush the liver by hand.
4) Add 40 ml of 6% weight per volume hydrogen peroxide.
5) Expel all air from the bag, and seal it with an elastic band.
6) Shake the bag to facilitate oxygen release. The bag should fill with oxygen in
approximately 5 minutes.
7) Oxygen is squeezed into a transport bag containing water and fish through a plastic tube, Liquid in the oxygen bag may kill fish and should not
be squeezed into the transport bag. A pump is used to fill the transport bag completely.
