Metro.co.uk: Goldfish join security team for G20 summit as water testers
Managers at the Convention and Exhibition Centre in Seoul, South Korea, have enlisted the help of the aquatic security guards to check the water purity in the venue's bathrooms, and hope they will be able to alert staff to any fishy goings on.


Something fishy is going on at the G20 venue in Seoul, South Korea
Oh Su-Young, PR manager at the centre, told AFP that the goldfish are simply being used as part of the inspection process ahead of the impending arrival of the G20 leaders, adding: 'The fish also symbolise an eco-friendly water policy, which recycles used water for the restrooms.'

British prime minister David Cameron will be among those benefitting from the unique safety measures when the summit takes place on November 11th and 12th.

But this isn't the first time this year that organisers of a major event have enlisted members of the animal kingdom to boost security.
During the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India, police drafted in trained monkeys to patrol the athletes' village and major venues where events were held.

The slender long-tailed Langurs were intended to protect both athletes and spectators from the Common Indian Bonnet monkey, which is known to attack humans.

What will they think of next?
