Carlos showed us all the interesting prehistoric features of this weird little guy, we both agreed that it was very cool, and then he informed us that it was just a "bait fish" to feed the fish in the next tank over. (Julia- anyone want a yum yum?)

Tsunami 1 year after: activities in Indonesia (in Arabic)
Indonesia is the fourth most populated nation in the world, with some 240 million people inhabiting 6,000 of the country's 17,500 islands across 6,500 kilometres from end to end. Most people reside on the five major islands: Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Papua. Figures published for Indonesia on the extent of damage, destruction and loss of life due to the tsunami record the number of fatalities at 128,645 with a further 37,063 remaining missing. One tragic note is the disproportionate death toll among women, comparing to male survivors at a ratio of 3:1. It is estimated that over 600,000 women and men in the tsunami-stricken region lost their livelihoods as a consequence of the disaster, representing 25 per cent of the region's total working population. The sectors most affected were the traditional sustenance industries: fishing and agriculture. Fishermen lost boats, nets, fish ponds, market stalls, with harbour and shore landing sites partially or wholly destroyed. Farmers lost land, crops, seeds, tools, drainage systems, livestock, and -- of course -- many workers from all sectors lost homes and family members. As well, the devastation disrupted the market economy, the informal commercial and transportation networks, and access to established casual labour resources, given the huge loss of life.

Fish for life: rehabilitating lives after natural disasters
Coastal areas, the inhabitants of which are often dependant on fish for food and income, are increasingly those most affected by natural disasters. This video takes a look at how one remote fishing community in Aceh Indonesia, which was totally destroyed following the 2004 tsunami, is benefiting from rehabilitation efforts by WorldFish & partners that put the community at the heart of planning and implementing new options for their future. WorldFish reduces poverty and hunger through fisheries and aquaculture. Visit www.worldfishcenter.org for more information.
