EEL INDUSTRY
ELECTRICITY IN FISHING. LONDON, June *ll., The practicability of installing an electrical barrage for an important eel industry in Northern Ireland is being investigated by the National Physical 'Laboratory. The object is to guide the eels into the part of the river where the traps are installed, by, electrifying the water where it is desired to prevent them from passing. Experiments with eels have been •made in a wooden tank at. the laboratory with promising results; and these have been extended to more natural surroundings at the Fisheries Experimental ’Station at- Alresford. It is hoped that full-scale experiments in the eel fisheries of an Irish river will be carried out this year.
