Renovations Resume at Roosterfish Restaurant in West Hollywood - WEHO TIMES West Hollywood News, Nightlife ... - WEHO TIMES

Work has resumed at the up-and-coming Roosterfish West Hollywood location, at 8948 Santa Monica Blvd. It has been quiet for several months at the new WeHo business that's taking over the former PUMP Lounge restaurant which stood on that corner for 10 years, and was co-owned reality TV star and animal activist Lisa Vanderpump.

However, this week, the new WeHo business sports a fresh coat of teal paint that we're all familiar with from the original location in Venice, at 1302 Abbot Kinney Blvd. They sealed up all their windows, but not before we got a sneak peek inside through a crack, revealing ongoing construction and other improvements in the indoor bar area.

In other Roosterfish news, TMZ reported earlier this week that although Vanderpump's original PUMP restaurant has moved on to green pastures, new new owners have confirmed that they are keeping olive trees, beloved by the star of Vanderpump Rules.

According to TMZ, Mario Vollera, who is one of the owners of Roosterfish West Hollywood, said that he and the other owners requested that the big olive trees remain when they checked out the space. The trees were a big part of the sale agreement, and Mario wanted them untouched because he said that they bring prosperity and good luck, aside from being beautiful and adding a lot to the space's ambiance.

According to their website, when Roosterfish first opened, it quickly established itself as a gay bar, welcoming patrons of similar sexual orientation. With this safe haven claimed, patrons could drink in peace without judgment from an archaic-minded society. With modern-day Roosterfish, its doors have reopened, welcoming all walks of life. As one of the original bars along Mr. Kinney's boulevard, it is part of a rare collective of original restaurants along Abbot Kinney, embracing the openness that makes Venice, CA as unique and special as it is! Roosterfish was one of the first progressive bars for the community, and the new owners have kept its namesake in respect to the history Roosterfish has undergone.

Lisa Vanderpump announced PUMP restaurant's closure on May 4th via a statement, responding to rumors and reports that the space had been listed for lease on LoopNet, the online marketplace for commercial property, which listed the 2,865 SF space as a storefront retail. The restaurant closed on July 2.

No opening date has been set for the grand opening of Roosterfish West Hollywood, but with the work underway, it's bound to open in the earlier part of this year.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
