NET-MARKED FISH

Number Held Alarming About 10 per cent of brown ! trout caught in the Selwyn fish trap were net-marked by commercial flounder fishing nets, some of them quite badly, it was reported to a meeting of the North Canterbury Acclimatisation Society’s council. The number of fish so marked was alarming, said the chairman of the fish .committee (Mr G. Ferris). Up to 1500 fish were passing through the <rap each week. From May 22 to July 10 there had been 11,465 fist pass through the trap, 3290 males and 8175 females. One thousand fish had been tagged for record purposes. Initially during May the tendency was for more male fish than females to pass through the trap, but later the proportion of females increased until the ratio was' now four females to every male.
