Yes. It's just like you or me being locked in a sealed room. Eventually there will be nothing for the fish to breathe to keep it alive. For example many fish during the winter months "die off" due to the surface freezing over in ponds with out fresh water being brought in by streams or rivers.

What arguments are used by environmentalists to support a ban on plastic shopping bags?
Plastic bags are made from oil, which is a non-renewable resourceMany plastic bags end up in the oceans, where they threaten the lives of marine animals. Turtles and fish swallow the floating bags, mistaking them for jellyfish.Plastic shopping bags are designed to be used once, and then discarded. This is unsustainable.
Is plastic cool?
Is plastic coldish? No, it's usually room temperature. Is plastic groovy? Yeah, it's a great invention and it's interesting to think of all the different ways it's used. Is it cool to get plastic bags when you shop? No. It never decomposes; it just clogs up our ecosystem and plastic bags are creating dead zones in the ocean. That means no more delicious fish. Plastic bags are also made of petroleum, which is not cool politically. If you reuse bags, you get the benefit of not killing so many fish, not "consuming" any more than you have to which is better for the environment, and not using more petroleum. Paper bags are better, as they'll decompose someday if they're not in a landfill.
How many plastic bags are put into landfills?
It's virtually impossible to determine the percentage of bags that end up in the ocean. Though, 47% of debris blown away from landfills is plastic. A recent study found that for every pound of zooplankton in the Pacific Ocean, there are 46 pounds of plastic waste. Think of the probability that fish eat plastic instead of plankton. Then we eat the fish. see related link for more information.
Why should you stop using plastic bags?
Plastic bags are made out of non-biodegradable substance.(not organic)Because they are durable they do not rot. Scientist believe that it would take up to 1,000 years to break down. In that time plastic bags separate into smaller toxic particles that contaminates the soil and even waterways. Even if we try to burn them, it pollutes the atmosphere Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are made worldwide. That means that 1 million plastic bags are made each minute, but then billions end up as litter each year. Making plastic bags can lead to exhaustion of oil, because to make a lot of plastic bags, we need a lot of oil. If we reduce oil we could save much more oil. You can actually drive about 460 meters with the oil which is used for only one plastic bag. Plastic bags even kill a lot of marine animals. Plastic bags gets blown into the ocean and floats around like a jelly-fish. A lot of sea-creatures choke and die for mistaking them as their food. Each year, thousands of sea turtles choke on plastic bags after mistaking them for jellyfish, their favourite food. Even other sea critters like sea lions and dolphins have also been found with their stomachs filled with plastic bags!

That depends on how long the fish will be in transport and how big the fish are. I have used jam jars with lids, Thermos flasks, Buckets and saucepans with lids, Plastic bags that don't leak. If you go to a pet shop they may be prepared to let you have (sell?) some of their plastic bags to you.
