RAINBOW TROUT
INTERESTING HISTORY OF INTRODU CTION TO N.Z. An interesting history of how rainbow trout first came into New Zealand was told at the Acclimatisation Societies' Conferenee in Wellington hy Mr. C. A. Whitney, Auckland. Some years ago, said Mr. Whitney, a friendly visitor had heen afforded some pheasant shooting in Auckland, and wishing to reciprocate, sent from California a consignment of rainbow trout ova. They were hatched in the botanical gardens in Auckland, and their propagation and handling were continued at the hatchery farm. From those rainbow trout practically the whole of New Zealand was stocked. Only in recent years had further rainbow trout heen obtained, hut the majority of rivers in Australia and New Zealand, including Lake Taupo, were originally stocked from Auckland. Brown trout had already heen acclimatised by the Hawke's Bay and Taranaki societies.
