——♦ " RESULT OF INVESTIGATION. (iun ASSOCLIXXO* ' tKMIJU.) BLENHEIM, December S. As a result of the fact that quite & few poor or diseased - brown trout, known ss "slabs," have been taken from Wair&u river this xeasoa, the Marlborough Acclimatisation Society sent a specimen to the Fresh Water Research Committee for Investigation and report. The secretary, Mr F. Mogridge, has now received the report, in which the Research Committee says, "The fish was most interesting as it had a very badly diseased heart. This confirms other examinations we have made, which show that heart diwewro usually co-exists with very poor condition." The committee expressed * wish to be supplied with. further examples for examination. In conversation with an u Express" reporter, Mr Mogridge remarked that ft peculiar feature about the occurrence t of "slabs" was that they wer» found only in the tidal portions of the Wairau so far as was known.
