THE OYSTER SEASON.
PROMISING OUTLOOK. [BY TELESEAPH. PRESS ASSOCIATION'.] WELLINGTON. Monday.
The current oyster season promises to be entirely successful. The Stewart Island or Foveaux Strait beds, states the chief inspector of fisheries, Mr. L, F. Ayson, are yielding a very good supply this year and the oysters are in exceptionally fine condition. The rock oysters of the North are also in good supply. In fact, the yield so far has been in excess of the yields for some years past. The department is now going in for oyster cultivation in the North on an extensive scale as the demand is increasing so steadily that the natural beds are not now able to suppiy anything like the quantity required. This year the department built over four miles of rock walls in the vicinity of the natural beds.
