...problem is we've gone straight to the top. We are essentially, as some argue, farming tigers when we raise tuna or striped bass or cod," says Brian Halweil, a senior researcher with WorldWatch, a Washington-based environmental NGO. By contrast, the fish species at the core of the millennia-long tradition of fish-farming in Asia and parts of Africa - catfish, carp and milkfish - actually require less fish input than is ultimately harvested, because they are herbivorous or omnivorous. In Asia, the idea of feeding several times more fishmeal to get one pound back would seem sheer folly. "Ultimately...

Two young ladies in front of us expressed their frustration at missing Lethal Bizzle, a prime exponent of London's underground grime scene, whose heavy bass we could hear thumping away over the wall as punters were trying to get as many pre-festival kicks in as possible by stocking up on energy drinks and Pro Plus caffeine tablets...
