The matter has been the subject of very, careful consideration, and on the question of lingerlings the Department is not prepared tpi embark uponi any alteration of policy on which there is no unanimity of reliable opinioii as t 0 the effect it is likply to have on the fisheries—the introduction 'of disease (of which the New Zealqnd waters are free) among fish which is having such a deleterious effect in other parts of the world.
