                  OKAYAMA, Japan - The Japanese delicacy tora-fugu is a species of puffer fish that lives in sea water. Now, a research team at Okayama University of Science Professional Training College in Okayama Prefecture has succeeded breeding them in fresh water. The trick, the researchers there say, is to add a small amount of electrolytes into the water. The taste of fresh water-raised tora-fugu, the students involved in the project say, is ''really tasty.'' (Kyodo)
