SARDINE INDUSTRY
A SIGNIFICANT CATCH (Special to the Hetald.) ' ' AUCKLAND, this,day. There is excitement and elation just now among the Dalmatians who are pioneering the sardine fishing industry of the Hauraki Gulf, over an occurrence which they describe as rare in their calling, the taking in the nets of what is known in their own country as the mother sardine, which is about double the size of the largest in an ordinary catch, and yet bears all the characteristic marks of the species. They state that in the Adriatic fisheries there is seldom more than one mother sardine caught in the' course of a year, and when it is.captured*it is considered to be the harbinger of a very successful season, hence the head of the expedition purposes presenting his prize to the Auckland Museum as a curiosity.
