The poop on fish food
Reuters AlertNet - Chicken excrement for fish stirs concern in Vietnam
I guess that the fish like eating chicken droppings, but it might not be a good idea. In addition to being disgusting, it's a bird flu vector. We're talking a lot of chickensh*t:
The Ho Chi Minh City Law newspaper quoted Dong Nai province residents as saying farmers there threw at least 100 tonnes of chicken excrement a day into Tri An lake, whose waters flow into Dong Nai river and run through the country's biggest city.

A bird flu vector? Wow. Your icthy-stories usually aren't so topical.

Hey, I was doing bird flu before bird flu was cool. Like 2 1/2 years ago.

I know. I mean I don't remember an ichthy/bird flu (or ichthy/hot-news-topic) tie-in before this one.

Other than the snakehead stuff, I don't know. Some hurricane tie-ins. The trade war with Vietnam, etc.
