Another great thing about ice slush, if a fish is thrown in ice slush, her blood will be moved to her vital organs ( brain, heart and kidneys) and out of the flesh. Less blood in the muscle makes for a nice fillet. Better for hypothermia to kill them than hypoxia( lack of oxygen), also arguably more humaine to the fish. I don't usually leave them in there long, just while on the water.
