Pacific Pride Chicks Ltd. of Abbotsford, British Columbia, used to send 10,000 one-day-old chicks to Honolulu every week with Canadian Air Cargo.

The chicks must arrive at their new home in Honolulu before they are 72 hours old, as that is the longest they can survive without feed or water.

The 1991 Boston Seafood Show was held March 12-14. The annual Show provides us with an opportunity to sell transportation services to members of the seafood industry.
