Omg!!!! Those fish look like half of them are during because they're not in water and so cramped!!! I'm sorry but even if they are selling these fish I don't feel this is right at all. why would they try to squish that many fish in such a small space?
Welcome to the forum.
How do all the fish survive in plastic bags.? And all the turtles look cramped in there we are not aloud to do this in Britain.
A market such as this is a distribution point for their product, which happens to be fish. Just as your LFS is a step beyond your tank in regards to stocking, a commercial distributor is a step beyond your LFS. This is where shops go to buy fish for resale, the shop doesn't want any product loss, the distributor doesn't want any product loss. Fish are set up in the way you see here for distribution & sale purposes, and are not kept that way.
It's not a whole lot different from people cramming themselves into an elevator, bus, or any other transportation device short term; close quarters, perhaps a bit of stress, but only short term. The people selling those fish don't want to see any loss of product, it's how they put a roof over their head & food on their table. If one of our setups crashes it's a disappointing loss of fish, a bit of a financial setback. If their system crashes it's a major loss of income.
