FISHERIES.
There have been large quantities of mullet in this district during the season which commences when the westerly winds set in, generally about the end of May and ending about August, when they come close in to the shore to spawn. Crabs are also plentiful.
I do not think that a close season is at all necessary at this port, as there are so few persons engaged in the traffic.
Licenses have been issued at this port for the year ending 30th June, 1891, to 6 Europeans and 4 Chinese; also 6 boats.
I have, &c.,
EDWD. J. BOULT,
Inspector of Fisheries.
The Chairman, Marine Board, Brisbane.
