The regulations for tho f°' sale of quinnaf salmon, in the South Island, will be gazetted shortly, am, will probably he similar to the regulations in force last season, except that the license fee may he reduced from to el Last season no licenses were taken out, the reason, no doubt, being that fishermen realised the difficulties in the way of catching salmon in the open sea. In America the fish are more easily caught, because the I rivers have estuaries; in which tlie . operation can be carried on. and there | are also navigable rivers. The Alpine t rivers of Canterbury and Otago, except- perhaps the AYaimakariri outlet, do not lend themselves to the taking of salmon in large numbers. There seems no reason, however, why the fish should not he caught in considerable numbers at the mouth of the Waimakariri. and eventually also in the AYairau river, at Blenheim.
