AUSTRALIAN OYSTERS

Market Sought In Canada (N.Z.P. A.-Reuter—Copy right) VANCOUVER (British Columbia). Australian and Canadian Government trade officials are discussing new regulations to permit British Columbia to import Australian oysters. The Australian trade commission in Vancover considers exotic type seafoods to be one of the potentially important channels of trade between the two countries.

Canadians, though they have some of the best fisheries in the world, are not big fish eaters. The west coast, especially, produces some of the most succulent salmon and meatiest halibut in the world, but neither has a strong appeal for Canadians. They are, however, developing an increasing appetite for more exotic seafood—like oysters. Oysters are appearing with increasing frequency as a gourmet dish on food store shelves and restaurant menus. But, because they are harvested in shallow harbour waters where they may be subject to contamination, imports of oysters has to be governed by strict quarantine regulations. Such regulations have already been negotiated between Australia and Japan and the United States. Trade officials are confident that satisfactory regulations can also be worked out with the Canadians.

Once they are, Australians hope to break into the Canadian seafood market in a big way.

The Increasing interest shown in Canada in the more expensive seafoods is regarded as proof of rising standards of living—helped by the impact of the tastes of European immigrants—for oysters are being joined by lobster tails, shrimps, and scallops.
