Anti-Terrorist Fish To Safeguard Shizuoka Water

[floatl][/floatl]Telegraph: Japan's latest weapon against terror. . . a fish
Japan is to use tiny fish in the battle against terrorism. Ricefish, measuring less than two inches and commonly kept as pets, react rapidly to contaminated water. The fish, which is pale orange, pushes its face close to the surface when it experiences breathing difficulties or simply dies in the manner of canaries in gas-filled mines. Whereas sophisticated and expensive filters may take up to 15 hours to detect a problem, ricefish typically react to contamination within a couple of hours. So far, they have been used on only an experimental basis at two water plants but they will now be deployed at the central water supply system for Shizuoka prefecture, south of Tokyo.

It will only take a day, or two, until the sport fishermen drop a couple of black bass in the lake and that will be the end of their early warning system. The bass will suck those babies down like the Cap't doing pints at happy hour. They'll be endangered in a day or two, and non-existant in a month.
