A fish holding chamber comprising: an enclosure through which water normally flows substantially in the horizontal direction having a pair of side walls and a back wall, said back wall being partially defined by normally open water removal through which water exits the chamber; means for creating substantially equal horizontal currents of water flowing along each of said side walls and substantially equal but opposite horizontal currents of water flowing across said back wall, said latter currents being strong relative to the horizontal flow of water through said water removal means; and a relatively quiet water area substantially free of constant horizontal water currents in said enclosure, said area being defined by said currents.
