Very unlikely this guy is catching wild fish to tape to a machine. More likely went to a grocery store or fish monger, and bought a pre-dead fish who experienced no additional cruelty than any other pre-dead fish.
Wasteful? Maybe. Definitely not additionally cruel.
Great that you found something to get their attention. Just please leave the fish alone. No need for this cruelty.
