"My primary
responsibility
is to take
care of
the fish.
We have
about 10,000
fish in
our facility.
They're
Zebrafish,
which are
little freshwater
tropical
fish. I'm
in charge
of feeding
them, caring
for them
when they're
sick, raising
the babies
to make
sure we
have enough
fish. I'm
also the
laboratory
manager,
so I make
sure the
lab runs
smoothly

with No
Water.

was really
a fish.

was no water.

the growing
demand for
fish and
shellfish
in the United

Foreign
Creature
Found In
Reservoir.
An Aurora,
Colorado,
man has
quite a
fish story
to tell
his grandchildren.
Burnis Jones
was fishing
in the Cherry
Creek Reservoir
with a friend
this morning
when he
reeled in
a fish he'd
never seen
before.
At first
he was told
it was a
piranha.
Jones took
the fish
to four
different
bait shops
before someone
identified
it as a
piranha,
but he didn't
believe
them. Click

the entire
story, which
includes
an interesting
video.
