     The blobfish is not so cute - This sad-looking fish lives in the deep waters around Australia, 1200 metres below the surface and is rarely seen by humans. Its 30cm-long body is a gelatinous mass with almost no muscle. It floats lazily through the water, eating whatever it encounters along the way.

     Due to increased halibut quotas in North Greenland, Royal Greenland is now expanding freezer facilities in settlements to accommodate more locally-caught fish.
