Members of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the United States Geological Survey, the Miami Seaquarium and other organizations place their hands on Patsy the Manatee as they help release her back into the wild on May 15, 2009 in Homestead, Florida. The Manatee was released after Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologists and volunteers from the Dolphin Research Center rescued her on April 29, 2009, after discovering her flipper had become severely entangled in monofilament fishing line. During her treatment and rehabilitation, veterinarians determined Patsy was pregnant and likely to give birth this summer. The veterinarians cleared her for release so she can continue to heal on her own and deliver her calf in the wild. Joe Raedle/Getty Images/AFP

Undated handout photo released on February 7, 2008 shows a mother whale and her calf being dragged on board a Japanese ship after being harpooned in Antarctic waters. The pictures, plastered over front pages and shown on television were taken from an Australian customs vessel tracking the whalers to gather evidence for possible legal action to stop the annual slaughter. More than two decades after the start of a leaky moratorium on whale hunting, the most majestic of sea mammals have made little headway in recovering their once robust populations, say experts. Just how much progress will be sharply debated this week when pro-whaling and pro-conservation countries square off in Santiago, Chile at the annual meet of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) from June 23-27. Despite the moratorium on commercial hunting of big whales, voted in 1986, Japan, Norway and Iceland continue to cull more than 2,000 each year, mainly minke, along with smaller numbers of humpback, fin and sei.

A diver helps fishermen to catch tuna fish at bluefin tuna farm around mid Adriatic Croatian town of Zadar, 21 February 2007, before transporting them to Japan. The European Union and Japan agreed earlier this month to slash their tuna quotas by more than 20 percent in an effort to prevent the immensely popular fish being hunted to extinction. Greenpeace?s and World Wildlife Fond?s environmentalists have warned that 80 percent of bluefin tuna has disappeared in last 20 years due to the extreme overfishing and the rest is facing extinction if fishing continues at current rates to feed a worldwide fad for Japanese food.

Large frozen tuna are on display prior to auction at Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo, Japan, in a photo released 13 December, 2007. Hundreds of tuna weighing as much as 400 kilograms are arranged in order of quality, with the best fish being those that have a good amount of fat, a balanced rounded shape and no signs of injuries from being caught. The tuna weighing upwards of 300 kilos are air shipped from every corner of the world. Japan consumes about a third of the world's total production of tuna each year, or about 630,000 tons. Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Libya, Spain and Tunisia are major exporters of farmed tuna, popular in Japan for its fatty quality. EPA/EVERETT KENNEDY BROWN

South Korea's Yakult Company workers make Kimchi, a traditional Korean side-dish, at the Seoul City Hall in South Korea, 13 November 2007. The annual event is held to help needy neighbors. Kimchi is basically a salted, pickled vegetable dish, often presented as a basic side dish in any Korean meal. The fermentation of different vegetables, complemented by salted fish and other seasonings, give it a unique flavor. The hot and spicy taste of kimch'i stimulates one's appetite. It is also a nutritious dish, providing vitamins, lactic acid, and minerals. Kimch'i can also be preserved for a long time. EPA/JEON HEON-KYUN

On the final day of the festival, a competition is held in which thousands of men and women line up along the river and at the sound of a gun shot, all of them jump into the river and have an hour to catch the largest fish. The winner can take home as much as 7,500 US dollars. Competitors are only allowed to use traditional fishing tools and many prefer to catch fish entirely by hand to demonstrate their prowess.
