China has launched the world’s first giant floating fish farm that can produce 3,700 tonnes of fish every year – an output similar to Chagan, one of the country’s largest freshwater lakes, state news agency Xinhua reported.

Guoxin 1, equipped with 15 tanks, each larger than two standard swimming pools, set sail from the eastern port city of Qingdao on Friday.
