CHILPANCINGO, Mexico—Thousands of demonstrators de-scended on this state capital onFriday to protest the recent al-leged massacre of 43 freshmenfrom a local teachers college,adding to days of unrest that hasleft roads blocked and govern-ment buildings torched.

The protesters have seizeddozens of town halls across two

states and briefly shut airportsin two nearby cities. On Friday,they hijacked food-deliverytrucks belonging to Sabritas, aunit of PepsiCo, and handed outthe goods inside to passersby.

Mexico’s spreading unrest andsense of lawlessness are shapingup as major political and eco-nomic challenges to PresidentEnrique Peña Nieto, with centralbank policy makers saying theevents could crimp the country’s

sluggish economic growth, ac-cording to the minutes releasedFriday of its Oct. 31 meeting.

Mr. Peña Nieto also is underscrutiny after reports surfacedthat the title to a presidentialfamily mansion belongs to acompany whose owner won biggovernment contracts. The presi-dential office has rejected anysuggestions of wrongdoing andsaid the house was bought by thefirst lady, a successful actress.

But the two seemingly dispa-rate developments—an allegedstudent massacre purportedly in-volving police and the mansion—have thrown the president offstride, dented his reformist im-age and raised new questionsover how deeply he will be ableto transform the U.S. neighborand third-largest trading partner.

“This is a political and per-sonal crisis for the president,”

KUSHIMOTO, Japan—Tokihiko Okada was onhis boat one recent morning when his cellphonerang with an urgent order from a Tokyo depart-ment store. Its gourmet food section was runninglow on sashimi. Could he rustle up an extra tunaright away?

Mr. Okada, a researcher at Osaka’s Kinki Univer-sity, was only too happy to oblige—and he didn’tneed a fishing pole or a net. Instead, he relayed themessage to a diver who plunged into a round penwith an electric harpoon and stunned an 88-poundPacific bluefin tuna, raised from birth in captivity. Itwas pulled out and slaughtered immediately on theboat.

Not long ago, full farming of tuna was consideredimpossible. Now the business is beginning to takeoff, as part of a broader revolution in aquaculturethat is radically changing the world’s food supply.

“We get so many orders these days that wehave been catching them before we can give themenough time to grow,” said Mr. Okada, a tanned57-year-old who is both academic and entrepre-neur. “One more year in the water, and this fishwould have been much fatter,” as much as 130pounds, he added.

With a decadeslong global consumption boomdepleting natural fish populations of all kinds, de-mand is increasingly being met by farm-grownseafood. In 2012, farmed fish accounted for a re-cord 42.2% of global output, compared with 13.4%in 1990 and 25.7% in 2000. A full 56% of globalshrimp consumption now comes from farms,mostly in Southeast Asia and China. Oysters arestarted in hatcheries and then seeded in oceanbeds. Atlantic salmon farming, which only startedin earnest in the mid-1980s, now accounts for 99%of world-wide production—so much so that it has

The data hound also had afeeling he mightlearn somethingabout his dogwalker. He hadwondered if hisfull-size doodleswere getting Chi-huahua-size walks.Sure enough, hiswireless Taggdoggy tracker—which transmitsmovement data to his smart-phone—revealed that a sched-uled 30-minute walk hadamounted to just one block.

“I was surprised to find outwhat I suspected was true,” says

Halliburton Co. moved to over-throw the board of rival BakerHughes Inc. on Friday, aftermerger talks between the oil-services companies broke down.

The impasse came on thedeadline to nominate directors toBaker Hughes’s board for thecompany’s annual meeting inApril. Baker Hughes’s directorsare all up for election every year,meaning Halliburton could seizecontrol with one fell swoop.

“Baker Hughes is disappointedthat Halliburton has chosen toseek to replace the entire BakerHughes board rather than con-tinue the private discussions be-tween the parties,” said BakerHughes Chief Executive MartinCraighead. A Halliburton spokes-woman declined to comment.

Talks between the two Hous-ton-based companies, which havea combined market value of about$70 billion, have been start-and-stop in recent weeks, people fa-miliar with them have said.

Now Halliburton intends tonominate candidates to replaceBaker Hughes’s full board of di-rectors, Baker Hughes said.

In a detailed release late Fri-day, Baker Hughes said it re-ceived an unsolicited proposalfrom Halliburton on Oct. 13, andtalks ensued. It said the compa-
