     The blobfish is not so cute - This dreary looking fish lives in the deep waters around Australia, 1200 metres below the surface, and it is rarely seen by humans. Its 30cm long body is a gelatinous mass almost without muscles. It floats lazily through the water eating what it meets on its way.

     The increased quotas for halibut in North Greenland mean that Royal Greenland is now upgrading frost stocks in settlements, so that there is room for more fish locally.
