Yes, there is fish hentai swimming around on the internet - Salmon hentai to be exact. I'm not surprised, it was just a matter of time (I'm just glad it's just fish. I don't think I'd be able to handle cephalopods).The fairly brief story follows the seduction of a student fish by his (obviously sexy) tutor fish. Explicit fish frolicking ensues. Very hot.
If the above description (or the title image for that matter) wasn't repugnant enough to scare you away, read the rest here .

Death Note is coming to Hollywood! Vertigo Entertainment USA (of no relation to Vertigo Comics or Vertigo Films), the production house behind remakes such as The Departed, The Grudge, and most recently Shutter, is helming a U.S. remake of the popular Death Note franchise. Hopefully Ryuk's love of apples won't be lost on the trip to Hollywood. 
I don't know whether to applaud ADV Manga for getting their release schedule back on track or to lambast them for depriving me of my precious Yotsuba&! for so long. See, Yotsuba&! Vol. 6 was originally slated for release this past February, but was never published after volume 5 saw release in October of last year. Granted, it's only been about 7 months since volume 5 was released so I shouldn't complai...HEY! What am I saying? That's much too long to wait for a single volume of manga. However, I am nonetheless glad to see the release train possibly rolling again for titles such as Cromartie High School, Gunslinger Girl, and of course Yotsuba&!. ADV's Chris Oarr gives Ain't It Cool News the full lowdown , explaining, among other things, that ADV Manga still exists.
A petition has reached the ears of the Japanese Diet for legislation that would potentially ban the bulk of Eroge (erotic games and adult anime. The petitioning party's primary focus is the depiction of underage females, prevalent in the majority of Eroge out there, apparently. A translation of the petition:A Petition for the Enactment of Regulation on the Manufacture and Sale of Bishojo Adult Anime Magazines, and Bishojo Adult Anime Simulation Games
Our towns overflow with adult anime magazines and games which often depict elementary school girls, and the minds of the youths who are seduced by these games are unwittingly destroyed; they lose their very humanity, there are already incidents of young maidens being plucked from the streets and murdered. Since it is plain that our society has now become one where young girls are placed in great peril, the issue of free expression is a thing of the past. To curb these profit seeking companies with no conception of social morals, to restrict the creation of products which place young girls in peril, there is a pressing need for penal regulations and the accompanying laws.
We wish to see enacted laws restricting the manufacture and sale of bishojo adult anime magazines, and bishojo adult anime simulation games.
