In the case of the introduced Salmonoids, and as regards 

 the Oyster and Flounder, special provisions have been made 

 for their preservation and development in respect of close 

 seasons, modes of capture, and the absolute or partial closing 

 of particular areas as nursery grounds as a means! ot 

 protection. This was absolutely necessary to ensure the 

 successful acclimatisation of the Salmonidse first introduced 

 from Europe in the year 1864. 



The fishes successfully introduced are Salmo solar, Salmo 

 trutta, Salmo fario var. Ausonii, Salmo fontinalis, Tinea 

 vulgaris, Cyprinus auratus, Oyprinus carassius, Perca fluma- 

 tills.
