You need to get a copy of the International Air Transport Association (IATA)
regulations pertaining to the shipping of live fish. Many airlines are now
enforcing these regulations. We have had the same problem here in Oz. QANTAS
was the first to introduce it here and the others followed. However, like
many of these regulations, it often depends on the airfreight clerk that you
get, some enforce it, some don't. But if your shipment complies with the
regulations I don't think that they can refuse. At least it gives you some
back-up when you tell them that your shipment complies with the IATA
regulations. You will probably find that most shipping clerks don't know the
regulations so always take a copy of the regulations with you. If all else
fails, ask for the manager and create a real scene - it usually works ;-)
