ACCLIMATISING THE LOBSTER.
THE PORTOBELLO HATCHERY. [BY telegrai'h.—special correspondent.] Wellington, Wednesday. Mr. Chamberlain, in his report regarding the Portobello hatchery, refers to the successful importation of lobsters. Several of the stock lobsters, he says, had spawned, and there were about 100,000 ova in the hatcheries. These should hatch out in the early summer. There are now in the station 44 lobsters and 13 crabs all doing well. If the necessary funds are provided the Board is prepared to undertake experiments in bringing out such other good fishes as may be found desirable. Some very interesting observations have been made at the station in regard to the habits of the lobster, especially in regard to its reproduction. Some of the tact* ascertained are believed to be new to science.
