PROFESSOR PRINCE.

Press Association.

WELLINGTON, April 13

Professor Prince, Canadian Commissioner of Fisheries, leaves to-morrow morning for Lyttelton in the Government steamer Hkiemoa. Later he goes in that vessel to Foveaux Strait and Stewart Island to investigate the fishing grounds and oyster beds. Afterwards Professor Prince, who will be accompanied by Mr L. F. Ayson, Government Inspector of Fisheries, will visit the other fishing grounds of the Dominion. He believes that herring should be made to play an important part in the New Zealand fishing industry, and he. will endeavour to devise means of introducing it to the coastal waters. By this means the quality of the fish generally will, he says, be improved as the presence of herring attracts other fish.
