This doesn't give us much confidence about the water quality in Shanghai: thousands of fish suddenly died yesterday in a Pudong river, according to Xinmin. About 10,000 dead river carp floated down the 1,500-meter stretch of Sanlin river to Sanlin Port and have started to decay and stink. The residents around the area at first started picking up the carp to eat, coming with barrels and plastic containers, but became scared when more and more fish showed up dead. Right now, the district environmental protection authority is saying that all the fish died thanks to a lack of oxygen - low air pressure and a new pump station could have made the water inhospitable. But they can't be completely sure until actual tests come in. Sounds... fishy. Photo from treehugger

Amelia of ChinaTravel.net draws our attention to this Beijing Olympic keychain souvenir with a live fish in it:

I found this picture up at the Beijing Olympics Fan blog and was shocked out of my wits!!! Who would ever buy this??? In 4 hours the fish would be dead, how do you explain that to your 6 year old daughter? I saw some guys selling these on the subway recently, they were claiming that the water was treated with food and chemicals that would allow the fish to live for months. BULLCRAP!

“The fish would have little oxygen available and it would be impossible to feed the fish.
