ATLANTIC SALMON
J<ON APPEARANCE AT WANGANUI SEWAGE NOT THE KEATON i Special to "Chroni le.”) AUCKLAND, Nov. 2. '•There has been no apparent result in the North Island of the liberation of Atlantic salmon fry in the upper teaches of the Wanganui River.’’ stated Mr A. E. Hefford. Chief Inspector of Fisheries, this morning. “J do not think the sewage in the river is sufficiently potent for the pollution to be a deter mining factor to prevent the run of salmun in the river. The absence of fish is due to other causes. Salmon have not shown up officially, but we have had unconfirmed reports of their presence.” Mr Hefford said that quinnat salmon had been caught recently in Wellington. and last season one had been caught in the Napier district. Referring to the Danish -scientific ship Dana, which visited New Zealand. Mr Hefford said he had had a letter from Professor Schmidt. The expedition had arrived home after two years.
