In this connection he considered a marine biological station, somewhere in the north, a necessity, in order to acquire accurate knowledge of the life and habits of our market fish. The marine hatchery and biological station at Portobello, Dunedin, is doing very useful work in this connection. Thirdly, full inquiry into the methods adopted in Australia with regard to the packing and transportation of fish, and the methods of State marketing and distribution of fißh in New South Wales and Queensland, with a view to improving the methods of transportation and distribution in the Dominion.
