Norwegian Acesta excavata doing the Waltz

Despite our best efforts and minutious planning, some shipments have an annoying ability to foil every plan…

This is what happened with our Cyclopterus lumpus, which were in transit for 9,5 days during their journey from Iceland to Japan, and miraculously arrived in pristine condition!

And it happened again (!) with these gorgeous Acesta excavata, collected by our friends from the Institute of Marine Research in Norway, then shipped to the Alfred Wegener Institut in Austria. This time they were in transit only 3 days, and quick response allowed for a repacking and ensure 100% survival.

Many thanks to all those involved in making this yet another successful Flying Sharks job! 🙂
