AFTERMATH OF ARAPUNI. “I don’t know what we shall do about it,” said the secretary of the Auckland Acclimatisation Society, Mr. C. M. Gordon, on Saturday, speaking of the fish stranded below the dam, and in ed pools, by the diversion of the river at Arapuni. “It’s annoying, but obviously cannot be helped.” Of course, said . Mr. Gordon, . they would have to make a move to shift the fish, but it could not be done for a day or two, until the society knew what was definitely intended by the Government He thought it would be neces-
sary to sink a net to the bottom of each of the pools in which there were fish, and drag it to the top. That was the only certain way to take all the fish. They would then be transported in the tins used for the purpose by the society, to the nearest point of the river. As for the trout above the dam, he thought it would be possible for them to make their way through the diversion tunnel to the old bed of the river.
