    I am full of cheery news today. :p

    The live fish facing death in the glass tanks in Hong Kong's famous seafood restaurants tell a strange and haunting tale of a looming global tragedy.At the heart of their story is the bizarre fact that there are more fine fish swimming in the tiny tanks than there are in the surrounding sea.
    Having overfished and polluted its own waters to the point where they are home mainly to great ghosts of the past, the territory now imports up to 90 percent of its seafood.
