Trout
From a Special Correspondent AS an important step in attempting to build up the fresh water fish in streams and reservoirs of Hawaii, the Territorial Board of Agriculture and Forestry has brought Dr. Paul R. Need ham, of the University of California, to the islands to make a stream survey.
For many years the Board has imported trout eggs which it has hatched and re leased in streams on the island of Kauai.
The fish, however, have not reproduced in quantity, and it has been necessary to re stock the streams as the fish are caught.
The Board hopes that the survey will point to the cause of the failure of the trout to increase, and enable it to plan a more practical and economic programme for stocking territorial streams and re servoirs with trout and other fresh water fish. (Trcut fry were recently released in streams in the New Guinea Central High lands by the Hallstrom Trust.)
