Fisheries Research in Hong Kong^*

Abstract

IT does not often happen that the official publication of a research station makes its appearance before the erection of the station itself has even begun; and certainly this enterprising inauguration of the Journal of the Hong Kong Fisheries Research Station will be most gratifying to those who have persistently advocated and worked for the establishment of fishery science throughout the British Empire. Tribute will be paid to Dr. Herklots, the editor of the Journal and honorary director of the Station, whose organizing ability and unbounded enthusiasm inspire confidence in the future of the work at Hong Kong, despite the tremendous difficulties occasioned by wars to which both the British and Chinese peoples are unhappily committed.
