Fish in the News. Each week the Bailey Brothers start the Pet Fish Talk Show with some fun and interesting stories about fish in the news.     Dolphin Birth The baby Dolphin is born tail first, as captured in this rare photo.     Bill Miller takes sheet metal and, with tools that he makes himself, bends, cuts and shapes the metal into a lifelike, three-dimensional fish species.     Floating Home with an underwater living room.     In Rimini, Italy, The Moment a Baby Dolphin is Born. It is one of the rarest and most magical sights in the natural world. A bottlenose dolphin goes into labour ... then a calf emerges, tail first. Mother guides baby gently to the surface, where they swim together for the first time. Very few dolphin births have been captured on film in such astonishing detail. See picture above Click here to see more pictures and to read more.   In Cortez, Florida, Bill Miller Creates Fish Art for Fun. Bill Miller takes galvanized sheet metal and, with tools that he makes himself, bends, cuts and shapes the metal into a lifelike, three-dimensional fish species. For the scales, he'll paint through a screen or net. Finally, he'll paint the fish with intriguingly accurate colors until the fish shines as though it just broke through the water. Miller is retired. This is his hobby. "I make what I want to make when I want to make it," Miller said. "I don't want another job. I want to enjoy life." See picture above on this page.

The Jelly-fish 45, designed by Giancarlo Zema is a floating dwelling unit for up to six persons. It's spacious dimensions are 10 metres high with a diameter of over 15 metres. The Jelly-fish 45 would be ideally situated in sea parks, atolls, bays and seas rich in flora and fauna. The Jelly-fish 45 allows the sea dwelling owners to live either above or below sea level in perfect harmony with the ocean environment. See the picture above.

BioLume's mission is to develop and commercialize this portfolio of proprietary bioluminescent (light producing) proteins, and related technology. Click here to read more.   From the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Red Sea Fish Colonizes the Mediterranean. Of the many exotic fish living in the Red Sea, one of the most unique and well-known is the cornetfish (Fistularia commersoni). This meter-long silvery fish resembles a long, thin flute, with a rigid, pipe-like mouth. Until recently, anyone who wanted to see cornetfish had to go south, to the Red Sea. In the past decade, however, this fish has begun to appear in the Mediterranean Sea, where it is multiplying rapidly. Click here to read more.   In Traverse City, Michigan, Scientists Can't Explain Algae Outbreak. When runaway algae killed fish and fouled beaches in the Great Lakes region decades ago, governments ordered cutbacks of phosphorus — a key algae nutrient — from laundry detergents and sewage treatment plants. It worked, for a while, but scientists acknowledge there are no simple solutions for a recent algae outbreak that is littering shorelines with stinky muck, and it may be responsible for die-offs of loons and other water birds. "We've done all the easy stuff," Harvey Bootsma, a University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee scientist, said during a conference this week on Lake Michigan environmental problems. Click here to read more.

The scene looks like many Mississippi river towns: an arched river bridge with a paddleboat in the distance. The bridge is green, not blue, but otherwise it could be the new local span across the Mississippi River from La Crescent, Minn., to La Crosse, Wis. But what dominates this U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service photograph from the Illinois River is a frantic field of glittering fish, boiling out of the water. Click here to read more.

Twenty-six baby fish are now orbiting Earth aboard an unmanned Russian spacecraft, in a long-delayed experiment that researchers hope will lead to a better understanding of inner-ear balance mechanisms in humans. The cichlid fish (Oreochromis mossambicus) blasted off Friday morning (11:00 GMT) from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, in a Foton-M3 craft atop a Soyuz-U rocket, as part of a package of life and physical science experiments organized by the European Space Agency. Click here to read more.   In Monaco Non-Profits Auction Species Names for Conservation. Over the years, philanthropists have lent their names to art galleries, schools and hospitals. But in a watershed auction, the world's rich will be able to add their names to several new species of fish — all in the name of charity. On Thursday 20 September, an auction to name ten new species of fish is being held by the Monaco-based Monaco-Asia Society, a non-profit organization devoted to Asian causes and Conservation International, based in Arlington, Virginia. The fish are a few of the dozens discovered by Conservation International during expeditions to reefs off the coast of Indonesia's Papua Province in 2006. Bidders will arrive from around the world for a gala at Monaco's Oceanographic Museum, which sits on a bluff high above the Mediterranean Ocean. Prince Albert II will be in attendance, and auction house Christie's will oversee the bidding pro-bono. Click here to read more.   A Big Sincere Thank-you for calling during the show to Evan from Colorado, and Andrew from Calgary, Canada.
