Mrs Stevenson Against Bass
Mrs Rona Stevenson, M.P. for Taupo, said during the Budget debate in the House of Representatives last week she was opposed to the introduct?#on of large-mouthed
bass in New Zealand. Trout fishing was important to the tourist industry and in the Rotorua Acclimatisation Society there were more than 60,000 fishing lic.ence holders, compared with 60 in Northland, where the bass would be introduced. "I think it would be wicked to introduce this fish into our waters on the advice of one expert," she said. "I plead with the Minister to drop this idea altogether."
