POISONING OF FISH
Source Not Known The type of poison which killed large numbers of small brown trout in the Wairarapa stream last weekend had not yet been discovered, nor was the source of the poison known, said the secretary of the North Canterbury Acclimatisation Society (Mr E. J. C Hay). Tests on the fish were continuing, however. Tests on the water were of little help, because it was some time before the society heard of the poisoning and by then the poison was too dilute to be identified. The fish would be replaced later in the season, when routine rescue operations were carried out on trout stranded in pools in dwindling rivers, Mr Hay said.
