FISH RESOURCES
SUPPLY NOT UNLIMITED
"Optimistic appraisements of our marine fish resources have no foundation in fact," said Mr. A. E. Hefford, Chief Inspector of Fisheries, in an interview in Christchurch on Saturday. ■'Actually, all the facts point in the other direction." Mr. Hefford's attention had been drawn to the recent suggestion of Mr. R. H. Nesbitt, formerly Australian Trade Commissioner, that New Zealahd could further develop its exports of fish to Australia (reports the "Press"). The taking and sale, of fish were at the moment being investigated by' the Sea Fisheries Investigation Committee, Mr. Hefford said. It could not be said that the Australian market was not already being well exploited. In fact, exports this year had reached a record. The popular attitude was that a practically unlimited supply of fish was available, but this was untrue. What was really needed was an investigation of new fishing grounds and new special types suitable for marketing.
