    HIGHER margins for its fish exports and the stabilisation of plastics prices helped lift third-quarter earnings of ornamental fish retailer Qian Hu despite a drop in turnover.

    Net profit for the three months ended Sept 30 jumped 17.7 per cent from the previous year to S$93,000, the group said in a Singapore Exchange filing on Friday. Higher operating profits from its ornamental-fish and plastics segments outweighed an earnings tumble in its accessories segment.
