PISCATORIAL CONFERENCE.
IMPROVED FOOD SUPPLIES FOR FISH.
WELLINGTON, February 27. A conference of hatchery curators, rangers. Government officials, and research students was held to-day. Tbe cllail ‘man (Mr L. O. H. Tripp) said, the food supplies for fish needed replacing and strengthening. In this, investigation on a scientific basis could assist enormously. He mentioned that the encouragement of the export of eels, once a profitable trsde with' Germany, might help the trout against this natural, enemy. The Wellington and Christchurch Acclimatisation Societies had appointed students to make researches into the food ot trout, but he believed much more could be done, and the time would come when a man of the calibre of Air Hefford could profitably be engaged on freshwater biology’ alone.
