TRAWLING LIMITS
That there should be a three-mile limit from the New Zealand coastline within which fishing trawlers could not operate was advocated by Mr. R. Macleod at a meeting of the council _of the South Canterbury Acclimatisation Society (stales an exchange). He said that trawlers* which netted at the mouths of Canterbury rivers were driving out from the rivers both salmon and trout. "If the matter is not attended to," he said, "we will see both the quinnat salmon and the trout disappear. Trawlers come in right to the mouths of the rivers and drive out the fish. It.is not the fly or bait fishermen, but the trawlers."
