I think there is a fish who can breath air on the surface as long as he stay hydrated. Oh well, watching the fish die in your hand as he is exposed to the surface is a great feeling anyway
Suggestion: Another irritating part of the game is being able to grab fish with your hands. This makes the gravity trap (as a fishing device) almost unnecessary. I would love to have a mod that prevents grabbing fish with your hands unless they are being held in the gravity trap or the propulsion cannon. I wouldn't even mind having to use either one inside the alien containment to grab a fish.
Basically, you should have to use something to go fishing and not just be able to grab them with your hands.
From a code perspective, I would look at the code for the Rabbit Ray. It cannot be picked up at all, but can be caught by the gravity trap and the propulsion cannon. If you can apply the "no-pickup" flag to all fish and then flip that flag when they are caught by either device, that would solve the problem.

I got a VersionChecker alert after upgrading to 1.01, so I checked the version line in mod.json and it still shows "Version": "1.0"
Also, the alert stated that the newer version was 1.1 not 1.01, which may not be your problem.
After manually changing the version to 1.01, the alert went away.
Update:
June 5th update fix confirmed.

Thanks again for all your work on the game!
It should have been part of the vanilla game.
It hurts immersion when you can just store the fish out of water forever, yet they spoil if you cook them.
Good Job!
