FOOD FOR TROUT
STUDY NECESSARY EXPERTS IN CONFERENCE Press Association WELLINGTON, To-day. A conference of hatchery curators, rangers, Government officials and research students is being held to-day The chairman, Mr. L. O. H. Tripp, said that the food supplies for fish needed replacing and strengthening. In this, investigation on a scientific basis could assist enormously. He mentioned that the encouragement of the export of ells, which was once a profitable trade with Germany, might help trout against this natural enemy. The Wellington and Christchurch Acclimatisation Societies had appointed students to study the food of trout, but he believed that much more could be done. The time would come when a man of the calibre of Mr. A. E. Hefford, Inspector of Fisheries, could more profitably be engaged on fresh water biology alone.
