Temperature Acclimation

What happens here

Upon arrival at the pond, the creator uses a laser thermometer to measure the water temperature of the fish bags (58.2°F / 14.6°C) and the pond water (59.5°F / 15.3°C). He notes that a temperature difference of more than 4-5 degrees Fahrenheit can be lethal to the fish. To acclimate the fish, he gently places the sealed bags of fish into the shallow edge of the pond. This allows the water inside the bags to gradually adjust to the pond's temperature. He advises patience during this process.

Goal: Equalize fish bag water temperature with pond water temperature.
