      I went on a fishing boat when I was on holiday in Cornwall and the fisherman just leave the fish out of the water until they die 🙁

      But some people doing research on a type of fish called zebrafish kill them by putting a lethal drug into the tank with them. This is thought to be the most humane way of killing the fish so they suffer as little as possible. I think it is a more humane method than leaving them out of the water till they die…

      Thanks for your question beebs!
