Abstract
THE Secretary of State for the Colonies has appointed Mr. C. F. Hickling to be his fisheries adviser. This is the first time that the position has been filled on a permanent and full-time basis, Mr. Hickling's predecessor, Dr. E. S. Russell, having acted in a part-time capacity during a period of approximately two years. The possibilities for development and research in Colonial fisheries are very considerable, and the post of fisheries adviser is one of great opportunity. Mr. Hickling, who will take up his duties immediately, will be assisted and supported in his task by the Colonial Fisheries Advisory Committee which was appointed in 1943.
