Food From the Sea
T is remarkable how little foodstuff other than fish comes from the sea in these parts. To be sure, the crayfish is abundant in places and is used, the oysters are farmed profitably, and the toheroa
is also farmed but has really a very small stock. These shellfish would not, I venture to think, withstand much unregulated exploitation. It is evident that other people have already thought so, because their taking is very carefully controlled. Other edible sea animals seem to be largely neglected: such as the sea mussel, which is ex-
tremely abundant, and likewise the pipi and the pawa. The last has a relative in California and one in North-west France, both of which are very extensively used as food, the taking of which is now
carefully controlled-but here these play no part, and we gather that, apart from fishes, the produce of inshore waters is neglected rather than misused.("Using and Abusing Aquatic Life,’ 3YA June 26).
