MEETING
Interesting Talk "On Local Fish
MANY VARIETIES
IN..
COLONY
At a meeting of the Hong Kong
the Aquarium Society held in Biology Department of the K University last night, Mr. R. A. Pereira, of St. Joseph's College, gave an interesting talk on local fishes and where and how to catch them.
Dr. G. A. C. Herklots, who pre- sided, welcomed tour new mem- bers, Col. H. H. Wright and Messrs. F. A. GI, K. Y. Leung and So Po Kam.
The Chairman said that the meeting was more in the nature of an exhibition than a talk. There was a wide variety of fish in Hong Kong ahd in the Fanling streams west of the Ho Tung ex- perimental farm, there were 18 varieties, collected by Dr. Henry, of America, who addressed, the Society last year. Many of the local fish were new to science.
AQUARIUMS POPULAR
In the course of his talk, Mr. Pereira said that until a couple of years ago very few of the Colony's fresh water fishes were caught and brackish water ashes were un- dreamt of, but since the keeping of fishes in aquariums had become so popular here, numerous Chinese otherwise employed were anding it a very lucrative side Hine to catch fish to supply the needs of local aquarists of one kind or, other.
Mr. Pereira referred, to a stream at the foot of the Lalchikok hill and Tsun Wan where in a large stream fed by water from Taimo- shan one could catch at least ten good. varieties including a very. beautiful leach and a barbus which was very rare locally. Another place for fishing near Tsun Wan was Chung Lung where to the east
of the main cluster of houses in the village was a stream where newts were very numerous.
'fishes.
Mr. Pereira also spoke of Tai- Lam Chung and Castle Peak for salt and brackish water dishes and Kam Tin for fresh water fish. Unfortunately, since the building. of a military aerodrome, the best stream Wils nimost completely ruined due to people spraying oll on the surface of the water as an anti-malarial measure. Neverthe- less this stream still held many Here too one would and the beautiful puffer Ash, which coming from Deep Bay and the Shum Chun river go up the main stream into Kam Tin proper. only to get marooned in some mysteri- ous manner in the higher reaches of the stream from where they could only escape back to the sea If there was a big ficod These puffer fishes ascend the stream in fair numbers during the months
