FISHING AFFAIRS
A CONFERENCE.' (By Telegraph—Press Association). WELLINGTON,%ebrna ry 27. A conference of Hatchery Curators, Rangers, Government officials j - and research students was held to-day. The Chairman (Air L. 0. H. Tripp) said food supplies for fish needed replacing and strengthening. In this, ..an investigation on a scientific basis could assist enormously. He mentioned than the .encouragement of the export of eels, once a profitable trade With Germany, might help trout against this natural enemy.
Wellington and Christchurch Acclimatisation Societies had appointed students of food oif trout, but he believed much more could lie s§ne and the time w‘ou\d .come when a. man of the calibre of Air Hefford could profitably be engaged to deal with fresh water biology alone.
