EXPERIMENTAL TRAWLING.
(Special to Star.)
Wellington, Oct. 7.
The report on experimental trawling, presented to tho House to-day. states that, summarising the results of the experiments round many of the coasts, the list of fish taken shows that there is a wide distribution of fish, and that they exist in large numbers at certain places. The fact that they are not plentiful upon some first-class trawling bottoms was probably due to their migratory habit, which was influenced by tho food supply, and this in turn would be influenced by the state of tho weather, tides, and currents, so that before anything definite could be arrived at in regard to a permanent fish supply from trawling a s'eries of experiments upon some ground at stated intervals was a necessity. The beat results were in from five to twentyfive fathoms.
