SHIPMENT TO BATAVIA SUCCESS OF EXPERIMENT [BY TELEGIUPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT] ROTORUA, Thursday The consignment of 10,000 rainbow trout ova despatched to Batavia from the Department of Internal Affairs hatchery at Tokaanu reached its destination in good condition, according to advice received by Mr. A. Kean, conservator of fish and game at Rotorua, from the consignee, Mr. G. M. Miesegaes. The ova were carried in specially-constructed containers at regulated temperatures to delay hatching. At Batavia about 8000 fry hatched from the consignment.
This was the first shipment of trout ova from New Zealand to Java, and the success of the experiment has caused considerable satisfaction, especially in view of the fact that' transhipment o£ the ova was effected through Sydney.
