BLACKBURN Rovers have gone from Match of the Day to catch of the day after some fishy going-ons at Ewood Park.

An aquarium, hosting Herring Berg, Lucas Eel, Andy Sole and the Great Dwight Yorke, has been set up in the Jack Walker stand.

It is designed to ease the symptoms of stress in staff and visitors.

Research has shown that watching fish swim relaxes the mind and can lower blood pressure.

Dan Green, of Aqualease Ltd, which supplied and maintains the aquarium, said: "A lot of companies install aquariums in their reception areas and boardrooms as not only can they look very decorative, they can also make for calmer environments.

"For this same reason, they are increasingly popular among doctors and dentists, who site them in their waiting rooms."

The aquarium is in the blue and white of Rovers and is on display in the reception area -- one of the busiest sections of the ground on matchdays.

Nick Hall, business development officer at Rovers, said: "It's very impressive, and very effective."

Dan Green, 23, set up Blackburn-based Aqualease with Chris Hibbert, 22 with help from Bootstrap, a training programme for residents in the town who want to start their own companies.

Rovers star Keith Gillespie unveiled the aquarium, with help from Chris, Dan and Elizabeth Taylor, their business mentor from Bootstrap.
