[quote akammerman] Do these fish die a slow, cold, suffocating death?
[/quote]
Definition: Suffocate
have or cause to have difficulty in breathing.
Definition: Breathe (verb)
take air into the lungs and then expel it, especially as a regular physiological process.
Fish do not breath. They do not have lungs. They do not inhale and exhale air. They cannot suffocate.
Fish have gills. Water passes over those gills which extracts dissolved oxygen into the blood stream.
I think you're putting too much thought into this.
