Roy Kinnear, Etihad Airways' Senior Vice President Cargo, said:
Each sturgeon was transported in a specially designed container in a temperature controlled environment which was always between 10 and 15 degrees centigrade. At each stage of the process the pallets were loaded and unloaded within minutes.
