Hibernation in fishes.

I dont know if this is commonly done, but its my first time seeing it. how was that possible? anybody?

the second time I saw this was when some dude in youtube cooked a alive fish. slicing it, frying it, etc. and it was served alive. I saw that link of the video somewhere in the forums. although it is slightly off the hibernation topic, it was still wierd.

That vid is neat and weird at the same time.

But on your second topic

You can take a channel cat fish and cut the fillets off and throw them back in the water and they will swim off like there is nothing wrong.

I guess they enter a state of shock and just do what is normal.

Interesting to say the least...

No details were given to the process to prepare them for "non aquatic conditions"... Although I would assume it included cooling them off considerably which would therefore slow their metabolism... Although I'm sure there is more to it than just that...

How would they breathe for the 7 hours they are out of water? I cant help but think that them being out of water for so long cant have bad side effects.
