TRANSFER OF FISH
Up to July 7, 4443 fish had been transferred from the Selwyn river to other spawning areas, the council of the North Canterbury Acclimatisation Society was told last evening. Of these 1023 were males and 3420 females. The transfers were necessary because the Selwyn river was dry for a considerable distance in the central portion of the river and the area of water above the fish trap was insufficient for the numbers of fish passing through. After freshes in the river last month several small fish had moved down-stream and were later stranded in pools. These fish were salvaged and transferred to other waters of the Lake Ellesmere system.
